Hi, is she singing a Tuini Ngawai song? I am planning to visit Tokomaru Bay soon to learn more about this remarkable community. When did Nanny Sani pass away? Are you OK about this video being on Youtube/ I don't want anyone offended.

I have stayed at Hiruharama a few times and performed at the school twice.

I'm not to familiar with the song and forgive me for not knowing when she passed it was recently within the last couple of years. I used to run around her yard with all her grandchildren when i was younger when we use to go up and visit my grandmother there on Hiruharama rd. The sound alsomst souns like a song my nanny use to sing that starts " Aue Ta' Apirana, ahakoa kua ngaro kue I enei Ra..." I personaly am not offended however that would be up to the whanau. Me and my mother injoyd it.
