Nukukehe, released in 2002, is the third album by the Oceanic group, Te Vaka.
This album is dedicated to environmental groups around the world for caring enough to do something about it. The song "Sei Ma Le Losa" was written for David McTaggart, who was killed in a car accident the previous year.
"Loimata e Maligi" (lit. "Let the Tears Fall Down") was written in memory of 19 girls who lost their lives in a fire at Motufoua Secondary School in Vaitupu, Tuvalu in 2000. The song was later rewritten as "An Innocent Warrior" for the 2016 Walt Disney Animation Studios film Moana.[1][2]
