Born to be joyful
Bella Kalolo lets off the latest in a long line of volcanic chuckles. I’ve just told her that my four-year-old’s verdict is that “she sings funny”. We both agree the child needs to be rescued from the evil clutches of Frozen fandom and given a crash course in soul.
“I nearly had to sing ‘Let It Go’ once!” she admits. “I’m so glad I didn’t have to!”
We both agree, too, that is a much better film, with much better role models, and a story that has some relevance to Pasifika. It’s Auckland’s status as the most populous agglomeration of Polynesian peoples that indirectly brings us together today, for Kalolo is one of the star attractions of an event exploring the possibilities of an Auckland set 30 years into the future.
