Freddie Letuli - 12-1/4" x 9-1/4" - 112 pages - color / black & white photos - Hardcover
"Flaming Sword of Samoa" is a fascinating chronicle of the life of showman and Paramount Chief Freddie Letuli. Born in a small village in American Samoa, Letuli created the fire knife dance that spawned a whole generation of entertainers and carried the color and excitement of Polynesia around the world -- from Pago Pago to Hollywood to Las Vegas' Cirque du Soleil. Written in his own words, as told to his wife, Patricia Letuli, "Flaming Sword of Samoa" also features an extensive gallery of photographs, posters and news items tracing the evolution of the dance and Freddie Letuli's long career in show business -- from Hollywood films and television shows to international nightclub stages. Foreword by America Samoa Governor Togiola Tulafono. |
