My Aitutaki Family Journey of Emigration, Music & Returning Home to The Cook Islands: Paul Itaea Bob

  • Summary

  • Today we chat to Paul Itaea Bob. A returning Cook Islander, his family decided to leave Aitutaki in the late 60's - emigrating to Auckland, New Zealand for approximately 15 years and then onto Sydney, Australia in the early 80's.

    "The connection of land to family and family to land". This gives us all an insight into Paul's podcast conversation today. "Why would you leave Paradise to move to Government state housing overseas?" Paul says.

    We talk together about Paul's life of growing up in the suburb of Miller, Liverpool, Sydney, Australia. A time when Cook Islanders and other Immigrants were collectively trying to find common ground in a new country.

    Paul speaks about how as a child he and his brothers used to sing in their bedroom ALL the time and thus their singing career began when they were teenagers.

    Paul is available in Rarotonga as an entertainer for private functions and weddings. R&B, Soul, Contemporary style musician / singer / recording artist. https://raropass.com/services/rarotonga/paul-bob-musician/
