“GIVE THNX,” the latest collaboration between brothers Aisea and Azato, is a powerful musical tribute to the importance of gratitude. This song, born from a 25-year friendship, transcends mere words of appreciation to embody a heart posture and mindset that finds joy in all things. It is the first collaboration between Aisea Taimani, a Tongan singer/songwriter from the Bay Area, and Azato, a reggae artist from Hawaiʻi, produced by Chris D’Meek from Nigeria.
The song’s art is a beautiful reflection of Polynesian culture, featuring the traditional “honi” greeting, where two people press noses together and inhale simultaneously. This gesture symbolizes the exchange of “ha” — the breath of life — and “mana” — spiritual power, capturing the essence of connection and shared strength.
“GIVE THNX” is a lifestyle. It encourages listeners to embrace a mindset of gratitude and appreciation in every moment. With its unique blend of cultural influences and heartfelt lyrics, “GIVE THNX” serves as a reminder that gratitude is a powerful force that can uplift and transform. Join Aisea and Azato on this journey and experience the joy of living with gratitude.
