Kei te ataahua rawa atu e taku Kui me oku Kaihana no roto i te whakaaturana nei. I'm glad that my Nan looks so beautiful in this vid- will be something for our whanau to treasure for generations to come :)
We've lived along way from home for too many years and this song is such a treasure to find. Many thanks for posting it. Whirimako is a poet. Simply beautiful!!
The fern shoot has meaning in many countries. It is a delicious food and life ever-renewing, and the symbol of Autearoa- as the kalo is the symbol of Hawaii.
Kei nui te aroha me nga roimata mo taku whanau maori... this waiata brings me to tears... I miss home, miss my people and miss Aotearoa. Kia Ora ki a Koe for posting this... so us who have gone across the waters can have a moment to feel deep love for our home. Tino ATAAHUA AUE.
Wow didn't realise this song is about Tane. I have a son of that name and we live along way away from New Zealand. I will play him this song. Beautiful song, beautiful singer and beautiful land and culture. :)
Tino Ataahua Wahine!!!!! Ka rere koe, whai ake ki nga whetu, rere runga rawa ra e............. Arohanunui Sistah....Mau ana taku aroha xox Nganeko, Tumohio, Carl & Roy
Stunning! I also first heard Whirimako Black on "1 Giant Leap" and her hypnotic voice is a miracle in any language.
I am very thankful for the technology that brings examples of the Maori culture even to the heartland of the USA. Thanks to serenagiovanna for this post and thanks to Whirimako Black for sharing her gift of music with the world.
Serenagiovanna - Thanks for posting the video. Whirimako Black has a wonderful voice. First heard her in the '1 Giant Leap' album. I am from India (originally), so don't really understand the song, but still love it! Is there a place where I can find translations of her songs? Or maybe subtitled videos? Thanks.
Whirimako is a wonderful artist to work with. This song is about Tanimahuta the god of the forest and the honor of this god the honor of food, collecting food the source of the food, preperation, and family alos the honor of the land and where you come from. it is an old Tohue waiata (song). Many thanks S:)
Beatiful song. Peace!
