| Description |
This is a lullaby chant about characters called Bui (grandma) and Drose (jellyfish). It literally tells a story of a Coqeloa, an endemic pigeon from Bua & Vanua Levu in Fiji. It is known in other parts of Fiji as Soqeloa. The lyrics of the lullaby relate the life of this beautiful bird with its beautiful melodies and soft tune. It could also have a colloquial/idiomatic meaning related to the life of a bird looking for life in wildlife associated with the geographical location of the baby’s home, village, clan, community, time, space, culture, heritage, history, and lifestyle. |
