Nature and culture. I like to travel.
Countries/cities that I have already visited: Hawaii, Seattle, Canada, Thailand, Bali, Mexico, Israel, Jordania, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, France, Czech Republic, Greece, Cyprus.
And there are more countries I would like to visit among others Tahiti, Samoa, Fiji and the Land of the White Clouds: Aotearoa - New Zealand Land of the Maori's.
But still one of my favourites are the islands of Hawaii where I was touched by the Aloha Spirit.
Музыка
Visiting concert of Te Vaka 13Oct 2007 Saint Denis/Paris
..
All kind of styles like country & western, country rock, motown, soul, blues, rhythm & blues, rock & roll, hardrock, funk, funkrock, gospel, classic, Polynesian, Melanesian, Moluccan (lagu lagu), native, world, Caribbean, salsa, ballads, R&B, accoustic, folk and so on and so on. Music will always be in development and goes with time. Music is a feeling that comes from your heart.
I grew up with our traditional Moluccan songs (lagu2), country/rock and Motown soul.
I started to sing in a Moluccan choir in church and my first melodies how to play guitar are traditional Moluccan songs and songs from Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, Jackson Brown, Emmylou Harris, Poco, CCR, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Santana, El Chicano, Average White Band, Earth Wind & Fire, Commodores ... too many to mention.
Please feel free to listen to the following song entitled GANDONG E played by Foco, a band that plays tradional Moluccan songs.
This song is telling us that we are all brothers and sisters, one family (OHANA) and that we are all one. Take care one another.
Check this video of Kenneth Makuakane a talentful Hawaiian composer/singer/guitarist singing a Hawaiian traditional song entitled: He'eia.
(Recorded by Keola Donaghy at the Kilauea Visitor's Center on July 28 2007)

I don't watch movies every day or every week.
But I like all Disney movies especially the classic ones. Makes me child again.
But to mention some movies that had touched me: Lord of the Rings, Once Were Warriors, The Whale Rider.
Remember that you never walk alone

2 of my heroes who are standing close to me and who I love oh so much:
my wife Fransien and our daughter Siena.
Each and everyone has a heroe.
Each and everyone is a heroe created by THE HEROE.
Each and everyone is unique and special.
Just realise what you are, who you are, all the given talents inside you.
You are a heroe.
О себе:
My name is Ananias Sumah.
Born and raised in Holland, but my roots originally are on The Moluccan Islands (Maluku) which nowadays - geographical speaking - are part of Indonesia (Asia). But the truth is that Maluku is related to Melanesian and Polynesian people, so in fact I am a Pacific Islander.
My both parents came from the largest island of Maluku named Ceram (Nusa Ina).
My father named Willem Augustinus Sumah was from the village Waesamu (south) and my mother Maria Magdalena Sekerone was from the village Nuniali (north).
I am happily married to Fransina Lilipaly (family name originally from the village Ihamahu on the island Saparua) and we both have a daughter named Siena. We are blessed to have her, she is a gift from our CREATOR who has created us all.
We are blessed to have the three of us as a family, we are blessed to have our big family (brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles, aunties, njadu2, pela2), we are blessed to have friends, we are blessed to have each other. We're all blessed.
Bless you all and perhaps we can meet each other in the world of myspace as friends.
Я хочу найти: People from all over the world. Just to get know a little bit more about each other, to communicate, to exchange culture things like music and language. To share because we are all one people living in one world created by the one and only MIGHTY ONE: OUR CREATOR.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
