I remember this song when I was in my teens, it was the theme song for an emotional time back in the 1980's when the English Government at the time allowed the return of many Maori artefacts which they held in there museums for more than a century. It was held at the Auckland Art Gallery for many months with cues that stretched for many miles and took days to see the return of many lost ancestors. It was called "Tu Tangata" I will never forget it and how special it truly was.
The first time I heard this waiata was on T.V. It was "Te Maori-The Homecoming". The Maori treasures; which had just returned from the U.S.A (Chicago); were welcomed home after their extensive, & very successful tour; including our own country (NZ). I can remember seeing the exhibition in Auckland. Both my late wife; a Nga Puhi, & I; Pakeha; & our two daughters fell head over heels in love with it.
I have looked for this original version for years. was in Rarotonga last week and they played it on the Cook Island radio station and finally i found it after all these years :-D !
Haere mai haere mai E ngā iwi haere mai Mauria mai te aroha ki te marae e Kia ora rā kia ora rā Ki te ope Tūārangi Kua eke nei ki tōu marae e te iwi e Karanga rā karanga rā ki ngā ope e tau e Kua eke nei ki tōu marae e te iwi e Kia ora rā ❤️❤️
omg..I haven't heard this song since I sang it at school at the age of 12yrs. That was back in 1960. Taught by Mrs Dean Rewiti. I did the welcome and lead of our school group. Though we sang it with the guys, that came in with a chant.. So beautiful. I love your version too Cara. Thank You.
There are many songs these days which come and go over time. However there are songs which will for cement with in our wairua. Personally this is one of those songs. Love it xx
I heard this song in august 1987 for the first time, when my Maori brother from NZ surprised me with a visit at my home in the Netherlands. He gave me a VHS video of Te Hokinga Mai. In this video se sang this song. Beautiful beautiful beautiful...
if anyone has a copy of her first singing it in the 80's,please put it up...she performed this song at some ceremony that was televised, she was so emotional she could barely sing...NZTV would repeat showing her performance from time to time
Te ataahua hoki tenei waiata. Ka hoki toku mahara ki te hunga mate o te whanau. Takoto mai koutou ki roto i nga ringa o Hine Nui Te Po. Ina ka moe te tinana, ka rere te wairua.

I'm an old English man like many other Maori songs, goose bumps and the occasional tear helped on its way with a lump in the throat
I heard this song in Australia at the expo all I can say it brought tears love it proud to be a Maori
Never loses it's authenticity, and purity of voice. Watching 2019.
