George FIJI Veikoso had such a great gift of bringing people together through music and he is the connector of people, he is the bridge of the Pacific and that's one of his many super powers.

This was highlighted by renowned Events Director Moe Coffey during fijivillage Straight Talk With Vijay Narayan.

Coffey says Veikoso had the ability to connect people from all different walks of life and turn strangers into brothers.

He says there's not many people that he has come across in his life that can do it the way that Veikoso has done it.

Coffey adds when he looks back at the Homecoming Concert, he gets goosebumps and gets emotional.

Coffey adds he thought he was going to lose a stupid amount of money before the concert and he couldn't understand why Veikoso still persisted and wanted to push on.

He says it all made sense to him when people started arriving and particularly at the end when those thousands of people started singing Lomaloma to him and that made sense and it was amazing.
