i was looking for opera on youtube and stumbled upon this splendid piece. It made me look for more Maori music (there is plenty) and now i listen to it regularly. Thank you and thanks to Kiri for introducing me to this wonderful music. culture and language of which i had never heard before. Keep up your heritage, greetings and thanks.
O, slap-slap in unison O, evenly, evenly O, stamp the feet regularly O, stretch well forth and draw back again Oh, my fancy listening To the song of songs Of this singing bird Of the cicada In my dreams in the midst of the night Ta ra ra-ta, ki-ta, ki-ta, (.... cicada noises) O, quivering sides, sound the refrain Quivering rear end, whirring, whirring And with waist supple And bended knees Ei, ei. Ha!

Love that song! And all that for a cicada!
Wish the film showed the guys doing their ''Ei!'' chant.
