Vince Harder

Te Vaka, Vince Harder dominate Pacific Music Awards

Both the Best Pacific Song and Best Pacific Album awards were won by Te Vaka, a group who were founded back in 1995 and are now known as mainstays of the Pacific music and dance scene in New Zealand.

Unfortunately, songwriter and vocalist Opetaia Foa’I wasn't in the building to accept the award; he had to skip the ceremony this year as he’s currently working on the soundtrack to Moana, a Disney film due out in November which was written by Taika Waititi.
