World Hip Hop stage

Fiji's Mata set to hit world hip hop stage

The Fijians qualified for the event for the first time after taking out the Pacific title at the International hiphop competition held in Auckland in April.

Director Tevita Tobeyaweni says her 20-member group will compete against 80 other crews from around the world in Arizona.

He said their dance styles consist of what hip-hop means to young Fijians but they also want to stay true to their culture.
