  • @uremysunset The actual song was written by my Cousin Linda HuHu from Mangatu Tuini Ngawai changed the words The original song was called >Mangatu E< our group sang it on our Marae for some visitors from the East Coast Auntie Tuini liked the tune so much she changed the words to 'Haere Mai'. Thought I'd just clarify a few facts My cousin has now past on RIP Cuzzy.
