Te Vaka Nabs Four Final Spots

The finalists for the 2010 S³ Pacific Music Awards have been announced with
Pacific legends Te Vaka named in four categories.

Te Vaka is a finalist for its sixth album "Haoloto" in the Radio 531 PI Best
Pacific Group and the S³ Best Pacific Music Album categories. "Haoloto" has
also earned Te Vaka a finalist position in the Recognition and Promotion of
Pacific Language category, new this year.

 Te Vaka’s fourth finalist spot is in the APRA Best Pacific Song category
for the single "Te Mavaega". Te Vaka’s combination of musicians and dancers
from Tokelau, Tuvalu, Samoa, Cook Islands and New Zealand presents a rich,
luscious mix of Polynesia’s ancient culture to the modern world.

The band will fly to New Zealand for a performance at the Awards night on
the 29th of May before embarking on a 6 week tour of North America.
