Maori Traditional Song with Poi

[caatherinejoy]

wow. that poi action (hopefully I'm terming it correctly, apologies if not) looks very misleading.. very tricky, indeed!

Too bad this video is so short! I enjoyed it a lot, but would like to see & hear more!

This poi dance (the ball action) looked pretty simple in an instruction video but i doubt it is :-/

Looks great though!

[SusannaBearfoot]

I'm so lucky to have been there and seen it live.

[SkynDawg]

the screaming sounds absolutely ridiculous, is this how the te arawa kuia of old use to be??? screamers?
