  • 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.

  • Kia ora Mulund,

    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:)

  • 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!!

  • I am moved to tears...

  • 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.
