Team Fiji Steals Hearts With Oceanic Hymns At Olympic Games Village
When picturing the Olympic village, we often think of athletes gearing up with warm-ups and stretches, ready to give their all in upcoming competitions. However, the Paris Olympic Games brought a unique twist. Instead of the usual preparations, the village came alive with the beautiful sounds of a choir singing in perfect harmony.
Team Fiji’s athletes, coaches, and staff united to sing the Fijian hymn “Mo Ravi Vei Jisu,” a traditional Fijian hymn meaning, ‘Put your trust in the Lord and he will guide your way.’ Religion is a significant part of Fijian culture, and singing is a common way of worship.
Their performance is so polished that it sounds like a professional choir. The harmonies, rhythms, and the beauty of their voices make it hard to believe they aren’t trained musicians.
Matilda Kearns, an Australian Olympic water polo player, was stunned when she heard the angelic voices of Team Fiji during a Sunday worship service. She immediately took out her phone to capture the beautiful moment
She quickly grabbed her phone to record the magical moment of music unfolding in the Oceania building of the Olympic village and the video quickly went viral on the Internet.

Another continues, “The ebb and flow of their voices together is otherworldly. Islanders sing like the ocean.”
