“I’m always grateful to those who always support grassroots lives and I’m thankful to Sosefo Fatai for supporting the struggling musicians in Fiji,” Vulakoro said.
“There are different stories in the music industry in Fiji and we are always thankful to those who always appreciate our music and talent.”
