Jeffrey Vallance: Tongan Music

Jeffrey Vallance is... well... look him up if you don't already know (and shame on you)... The following is the briefest description of his excursions to Tonga.

"in 1985, I went to Tonga to meet the King. In Tonga I collaborated with craftspeople like wood carvers, tapa cloth makers, scrimshaw artists, and musicians. Instead of a traditional Tongan band, I found a Punk Rock group called Zero-D, that I collaborated with."

Gaining audience with His Majesty King Taufa’ahau Tupou IV of Tonga, Jeffrey then presented him with a giant pair of swim-fins to fit his lordly feet.
