Man i've had trouble posting this comment. The formatting keeps changing when i post it so i've had to delete and repost half a dozen times. The change back to Aminor is on "nui"

It's only 2 chords.

Cool! Hōhepa is a lecturer at Massey University who starts every class wth a song - gotta love it! There are a couple of Americans in the class too. Did you know Hawaiian language has a lot of similarities to Māori?

Great waiata. Few know that it originated as a Kanak song from New Caledonia, translated and adapted by two Maori women who travelled there in the '80s and spent time with the independence movement.
