"Voice of the People" Letters to the Editor (Wednesday July 12th, 2006)

KUDOS to the producers, production team and cast of Malaga.

It was a thumbs-up performance.

For people who missed the opportunity to watch the 3-D immersion into glorious rhapsodies and cultural richness from 100 per cent Pasifika talent, may I on your behalf seek the endorsement of the producers to put on a repeat performance.

It was a blessing to be able to take away an inspirational message from the production that within the Pasifika region lies untapped potential which when brought together, unleashed and discovered, can move mountains.

It is a challenge for us in this global economy.

Thank you Malaga and the Vakavuku team for a timely reminder of the value of our roots and history and the need to straddle it appropriately with western ideologies.

Our journey is never-ending and neither should our Pasifika efforts.

The Pacific Islands leaders meeting in October will be an appropriate performance date.

Pending the decision for a repeat performance, I impatiently await information on its DVD and soundtrack outlets in the country.
