History
Formed in 1974 the Five Stars were mainly a family outfit. They consisted of brothers Alofa and Solomona (Soloman) Tu'uga and their relatives Samu Poulava-Selesele, Faifua Fa'atoe and Uili Misa. They were also managed by Afoa Tu'uga who was the father of Alofa and Solomona Tu'uga. They were Hibiscus Records most prolific recording artists and during their career they released nine albums on vinyl LP and compact cassette and received two awards. One was a Gold Discs award and in 1986 the other was a New Zealand Music Award. In the 1990s most or all of their LP catalogue was released on compact disc.
In April 2006, band leader, Alofa Tuuga Stevenson died in Brisbane, Australia.
A current version of the band continues as The Five Star Band with some remaining members and their family members.
