I am in a Polynesian dance group called teva oriata they have a TH-cam channel you can check out and for one of the contest was in a parade and my friend taught me a really hard move to do on poi ever since I’ve been obsessed
E Te Hokowhetu is actually a waiata-a-ringa or action song that i know of .a very popular waiata in our culture .its cool that other cultures are trying to embrace Te Ao Maori .if only they had a better understanding of our waiata, kupu, whakamarama hei aha rānei yous would be amazing 😊 thats my whakaaro anyway Kia Ora
i mean even if it’s for tourists that gives them all the more reason for it to be authentic and not sing the wrong words. even if it wasn’t on purpose, they could’ve searched it up and at least try to sing it properly. i mean imagine it was your own culture and some people just straight up disrespected it, whether it was on purpose or not, i don’t know abt u but i wouldn’t take that. that’s just my opinion, i wasn’t trying to offend anybody!
hahaha sorry...but those were the words I sing when drunk :-) Also can someone point me to a person man or woman who can successfully twirl 20 poi? Ive seen someone throw 20 poi....does that count LOL
+charlotte toia because the lyrics are made up bs.and mixed with other islands words.. this is a pretty well known song..so this version is pretty disgusting. even the actions!!
Oh, I thought they meant they thought it was a traditional hawaiian dance and performance. Yeah it's MEANT to be Maori and appears maori but they are not maori people so there are errors
The one closest to the cameras on her own buzz lol
Those words 🤦🏽♀️🤣
Spirit was willing... but 🤣
Ho e!!!!! 🤣🤦🏽♀️
Like what the hell was that?! Lol!!!

They could have gotten one of us Māori to write the proper words for them. These are NOT the words.

Hmmm !! me thinks they should learn te waiata properly..gahh!!! wheres my patu!
Beautiful!
... but BLUES is NOT the Maori-Style :-(
Well Māori have kept up with the times and are entirely capable of using any style of music. I imagine those singing are Hawaiian , not Māori.
hahaha sorry...but those were the words I sing when drunk :-) Also can someone point me to a person man or woman who can successfully twirl 20 poi? Ive seen someone throw 20 poi....does that count LOL
they sound drunk! because they don't know the words. The should at least go on the internet and try to find the words! shocking!
