Te Waka Huia.

[Kopuparapara2012]

@seguestt It's a tribute and lament for John Te Rangianiwaniwa Rangihau from Tuhoe. It lists many of his accomplishments and achievements for all Maori people; his various attributes that he instilled within the multitudes; and celebrates his work.

thanks for posting this I think the best kapahaka came from the 80s and 90s simple ,sweet and beautiful compositions like this.Ive lost all my vids i used to have of these and now vcrs are out of date .please put up more if you can i miss these festivals as do others. Its a shame that today every group trys to outsing one another and its too military robotic formations but i guess times change.Waka Huia what fab memories live long e te roopu ataahua.
