From the Album Kia Koe (1997)
Jazz-infused track 'Mancini' was the second single from award-winning Tokelauan vocalist Sulata Foa'i-Amiatu, and the song went on to open her debut album Kia Koe (1997), released on the R&B and hip hop-centric Deepgrooves label. The video evokes sophisticated city vibes, opening with Sulata's smooth vocals gliding over what sounds like a telephone dial tone and synth wash as the artist comes into focus on-screen. Disconnected scenes — many set in 90s Auckland hotspot Alba Cafe, which was next door to the record company's office — are interspersed with scratched-up shots of Sulata and cameos from labelmates such as Ermehn.
