Bowies Waiata: Ngati Toa Mix

In 1983, musician David Bowie was the first Rock Star to be officially welcomed onto a Maori Marae. 25 years later, this slideshow looks back on the event that Bowie himself called "one of the most hospitable experiences of my life". This is an abridged version of the "Bowie's Waiata" radio documentary, with images, broadcast on Radio New Zealand in Nov, 2008. Thanks to the Ngati Toa tribe of Porirua, NZ, for their assistance and lunch. Audio and audio slideshow production by Sam Coley.
