I'm from the United States, but I listen to music around the world, and this has to be one of my favorite songs I've ever heard. I've always had interest in cultures and languages that are not my own, especially Native American, Maori, and Hawaiian. There's just something about them that makes me feel at home.
Meant with all respect and in no way intending to deny the genocide, colonization, and racism indigenous people have faced but music like this reminds me that we are all indigenous to this planet. Animism, shamanism, and earth-based spiritual practice is our birth right. We are one.
What I can make out of the words Tangaloa fakama'uta = Tagaroa a shyness of land Ika=fish moana=vast deep sea vai o Tangaloa= waters of Tagaroa tangi=cry
I don't have Maori blood running through my veins or Maori relatives but there's just something about this hauntingly beautiful song that somehow resonates through me, it has helped me tremendously in getting through this tough year.
I’m so sorry for your loss, I cannot imagine how hard it must of been to say goodbye to your sister, oh gosh this makes me want to give my big sis a big hug and tell her how much I love her, we always think we’ll have enough time with our loved ones and the heartache that comes when we don’t get that time 😞 And you say she sung this song? She must of had such a beautiful voice ♥️
This is something I can understand and means so much to me. , John Tere'moana Green. from Honolulu USA. Currently in Northern California forest and sacred native Americana land. I feel like I can fly like a seagull there spiritually listening to this sound here. My mothers mother was Tahitian and my mother is from Tahiti. My grand father was Maori / Scottish, and he came from the north island of New Zealand. I have been praying to go there some day soon before I die to see new zealand and find family. This music is uplifting.
@@rachelburke3097 Kia ora I understand what u mean wen u say ur ¼ Māori .... but in Te Ao Māori/Māori Worldview), you only nd2 have 1 drop and we see u as a whole. If ur Māori - Your Māori!! For example I'm half a Hula, half a Haka lol. My Dad was Kuki Airani (Aititaki, Cook Islands) n my Mum is Māori (Rangitaane o Wairarapa/Ngaati Kahuungnu. 😉 So while I acknowledge and am fiercely proud of both sides of my whakapapa /lineage. No matter which side of my whānau I'm with ... I feel whole n each, respectively! Needless 2 say that Rarotonga was the last 'Port of Call' before our Waka came to Aotearoa
SO BEAUTIFUL...THE SONG & MAISEY RIKA AS WELL...SOMETHING ABOUT A POLYNESIAN WOMAN SINGING A BEAUTIFUL SONG THAT HONORS OUR KUPUNA...JUST TOUCHES THE SOUL!!!
Yes Moesha, Tagaloa (Samoa), Ta'aroa (Tahiti), Kanaloa (Hawaii) and Tangaroa ('Avaiki & Aotearoa). Yep we are all one people, proud to be a Polynesian.
I’m not Māori but my partner is and we have a 7 week old daughter together and from 2 weeks old when she is unsettled I came across this song and I played it it soothed her instantly and does soon as Maisey starts to sings
Im from nz w Māori blood n whānau this song was released in 2012 and it's now 2023 - going onto 2024 this waiata is beautiful and inspirational I've listened t this song for 10 yrs and it's still as lovely as the first ❤
After listening to this consistently for a couple of months I learnt how to pronounce the lyrics and sang along to this song last night in front of my maori partner. He was so surprised and also a little impressed. I just wanted to be able to sing one of my favourite songs in its native language.
From a White British weed smoking man. Maori, is a beautiful language and beautiful culture, and the Maori people are incredible. I truly wish I was a Maori
To all the MAORIES,i am a SHRILANKEN what a beautyfull song so soothing i don't understand any words but makes me feel so free every time i listen to this song.So peaceful inside,mesmorized with the words and the voice.Thanks MAISEY RIKA. Please have more songs about the culture and the history of MAORI culture so beautyfull. Lets not forget the Roots.********
I'm waiting for immigration nz sistem approve my residency application but my real feelings are that I need this land and people approve. I love Aotearoa, I love maori! thank you for having me here so far!
This is my favorite Maori song. I always listen to this especially when i travel. I am not a Maori. And neither do i have a Maori blood or relatives. But my fiance is a Maori and i just fell in love with the language when he introduced me to it. I loved this song so much that i actually know every words in it. So much love, all the way from Asia :)
It's not about the blood, though some would tell you it has to be. I'm not either but a kuia once asked me where I was from and I told her where I am descended from, which on both sides is not Maori. Her response was "Yes you are, 'cause I can see your Maori heart." That'll do me...
steve harris Wow you're last name kind of threw me. The Harris name has great significance to Nga Puhi. Maori is a European given name to blanket our IWI so to speak. We were and still call ourselves by our IWI. I think, if I was to give an analogy or, an explanation on what the word Maori means, to me would be a way of life, a way of living with all life, which has been taught to us by our Tupuna or Tipuna (ancestors) all things spiritual and physical, expected of us by our Gods, IWI and family. Maori a way of living. 🤔🙄😏✌
@Jacky Phantom what are you on about? Our ancestors came from Formosa/Taiwan to Papua New Guinea thousands of years ago (5000). Taiwanese natives are not east Asian looking either they are very dark skinned, kinda like (gasp) black people. And guess what, Papuans are black. Take that anti black racist line somewhere else please. Maori have always had dark skin, doesn't matter how mixed we are as well you are Maori and skin colour or phenotype does not negate that. My great grandparents were full blooded Maori and guess what, their skin was black, their hair was thick. Keep that blood quantum BS too because we see through that as well, it's just another way for colonisers to undermine our rights to ancestral lands and taonga. And if you knew anything about human migration or evolution, you'd realise that there is no such thing as a pure race.
Maori is not beautiful it stupid. Japanese culture is more beautiful also it isn't violent here and people aren't doing drugs. Japanese are more friendly and are not thieves.
My goodness her voice!!! 😍😍 even though I'm Samoan and don't understand a word of Maori, I feel so connected. I can't explain it lol Us Polys are connected to each other after all ❤
Tangaroa is our guardian of the sea he watches over those while at sea and as for the connection you feel my people originally came from the islands Maori are a group of islanders that came to New Zealand
Māori originally came to Aotearoa from Hawaiki which pretty much all people from across Polynesia can whakapapa (trace back to) so it makes sense you can feel the tūhononga (connection) ☺️
i was browsing thru youtube and came across this. you and your culture is soo beautiful i am hawaiian and i feel like our culture is dead. and listening to this i feel soo happy to feel connected to your culture. aloha. -kapoli
Never dead! But I understand what you mean, as a Maori every little bit of our culture that is shared is precious to us. It's certainly not thriving and only some parts of the country can you witness it. Our language is spoken by so few now and I fear for the future of it, for our identity but it's not over. Be what you want to see, every single person helps.
PO Lee I’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii as a little girl, I don’t think it’s dead. At all. I was always jealous when my friends used to go. But I’m grateful to be living somewhere safe in New Zealand.
I played this waiata (song) over and over and over when my grandmother passed away because it made me feel connected to her and helped to soothe my soul.
My Dad created some multimedia shows for Air New Zealand to promote tourism from the USA, way back in the late 70s; he spent a lot of time doing photography in NZ and eventually brought the whole family over to visit. He loved New Zealand, as well as Fiji, Tahiti, and Hawai'i, all places where he spent a lot of time. He recently passed away; but before he did, I spent time in hospice with him and played this hauntingly gorgeous song for him; it had a powerful impact on him, keeping him calm and steady in his last bit of time on this earth. I love this song as well (and video), but especially because it reminds me of my dad now.; can't stop playing it. Tēnā koe for your amazing creativity and ability to communicate to one's heart and soul, no matter their spoken language. ❤
I come from the island of Malta or Atlam, remnants of an Atlantis civilization which thrived adjacent to the straights of Heracles, border with Libya. We as an ancient race feel this harmony with nature. Secondly I love this Maori culture and the language is outstandingly full of serendipinty. In fact my dream is to sail from here with my family to Polynesia and live on one of the islands and learn more about Maori culture. And the Haka....wow so powerful. I can imagine Maori as a great warior tribe they were, but the spirit of reviving our cultures we have to bring back. It is time to take back what belongs to your home cultures. I also salute a very good heart and special being that is no longer with us but his spirit still lingers on. He is Saun Wanuii I mean the way he spoke, his magic smile and his forever love he has for his wife Paige.Till then be patient my brother and you shall re unite with your beloved family. Ave................Tehuti
One of the best songs I have ever heard. Aetheral music and Maori language so delicate to my ears. Maori people, do not ever give up. Keep your language and traditions alive from generation to generation. Teach the younger, teach the whole world the way to live with harmony and respect on mother Earth. Greetings from Athens Greece.
Kia ora from a proud Maori woman living in Brisbane Australia but never forgetting where I come from. My beautiful home. Aotearoa 🥰. The land of the long white cloud 😇

As a Pakeha who is learning this beautiful language, i am thankful to our kiwi artists who perform in te reo Maori, and challenge me to figure out the learning... to learn to korero Maori and understand the meaning in English as well...
@@kinasandwich7624 💗🙏🏾thank you!! That made my day. I was so excited to tell all my friends about the beautiful soulful paradisaic melodious voices I've come to know and search for. THEY ALREADY KNEW!! MOST THEY KNEW BY NAME! YOU'RE BIGGER THAN YOU THINK! WE LOOOVE YOUR MUSIC AND THE JOY IT BRINGS! YOU GUYS KEEP IT COMING!! WE GOT YA!!!
@@kinasandwich7624 thanks! I'll be searching for them. Does any of these artists ever tour the US? I'd love to see them live! Whats the best way to find translations for the language and the songs? I gotta say the Lady's, my Sistas, are killing it!!! If the language were English I'd swear they were any black church gospel choir. Super talented beautiful voices! Just the breath of fresh air that music needs right now, especially here in the US.
Maiden Tim’s was the first Maori artist I listened to and I have fell in love with the Maori language and culture, and 8 years in I’m always in love with s Maori culture🙏🏾
As a pinay living in NZ, I feel much safer and more at home here than I had ever been... Was it the closeness of the culture and the fact that people are just so.. Caring? I've been wanting to learn this song because it makes me feel whole. A whole new me. Tena koe, kia kaha koutou (I'm practicing Te Reo, sorry if it sounds bad xD)
I found this wonderful song after playing the game called 'Beyond Blue' and I fell in love! 10 years and I didn't know about this majestic song! Thanks for gracing us with your voice!
This is a beautiful song,peaceful and powerfull..altho im not from Maori but from The Netherlands,music has no boundries or language too understand eachother too bring "a message"❤
No !! My parents are NOT Kiwi’s lol lol they are from a Tribe called Sioux and we know your language cuz my parents LOVED your island❤️ and we know Otago, Waikari, Ranfurly, Taugaura , and other places and homes there!!! Sunshine Bay Queenstown NZ too!!!….. 💫✨💕 Stay Happy, Healthy & Strong!! Never lose your language💕
Such a beautiful song and opportunity to learn and feel the love and spirit of our ancestor Tagaroa. This song was part of a recent dream I had which helped me to name my youngest son who just so happened to be born a few hours ago on December 1st, 2022. His name Kanaloaakawaimapunaoha’ena or Kanaloa who dealt fresh spring water of Ha’ena (located on Kaua’i island). Mahalo nui sister for sharing your amazing talent.
carat cute how are you from Tahiti but you don’t know Tahitians speak Maori - same bloodlines descendants from...ask any real Polynesian they will tell you.
@@alexiscolby9415 Bro' I'm from Tahiti as well and Tahitian is pretty different although we all know that we are cousins with any other islanders but we do not understand much except for some words which sound similar. Also I think that you didn't get message left by that person @caratcute .. he/she was simply praising how beautiful the Maori language is .. also where are you from ?
@@rainsnow4486 Um...sorry not a bro...Alexis is a girls name so....yeh. Second, we have some Tahitian friends mainly parents friends so they are elders and they understand most words when my Dad speaks Maori, its a different pronunciation is all. They can have conversations with my Dad although my Dad says they speak a faster pace but he can understand most words. There is a documentary on youtube where Pio Terei (a Maori reporter/tv host) goes to Rapa Nui (Easter Island) and can pretty much understand the locals there, Rapa Nui what is left of the language today is a type of dialect similar to Maori. I did get the message from caratcute and my comment still stands because I wrote it and Im entitled to it. Its common knowledge about our ancient ties and lineage so what I was alluding to was that this person may not be Tahitian but possibly French or something else. I am passionate about Polynesian histories and how a lot of this was bought about via colonization, as Polynesians there are things we collectively know, its innate. Also I'm from Aotearoa, East Coast of the North Island, Iwi is Ngati Porou.
@@alexiscolby9415 I'm also passionate about my culture and the whole Polynesian culture as well and I don't think I need to know more from you. Concerning caratcute I will not speak for him like you did by saying that he/she might be French because ... I don't know that person, then why are you doing a big deal by mentioning Rapa nui? .. if you're really a maori then you should be proud that this person said that you guys have a beautiful language instead of replying some unnecessary arguments leading to misunderstandings. Also I maintained what I said, your language might have similar words but it's not really the same as Tahitian but I do agree that it came from the same roots, the Paumotu maybe is closer to the Maori language.
@@alexiscolby9415 Ma'ohi mā e, Ta'ata tahiti ma, 'a hi'o nae tera ta'ata, ta'ahoa to'a parau e parau fa'ahau, fa'ararahi noa aita ra 'e faufa'a e tama'i no te mea ho'e noa tatau. Now tell me if you can understand then I will leave you the last word.
All my votes would have gone to Maisey Rika for the Waiata Maori Music Awards. your songs get stuck in my head its so soulful, and full of love. All your music reminds us of what maori culture is about.
Daca Taíno! I am Taíno and have become to Aotearoa and it felt as if I was “Home”. Love the music and the beautiful amazing voice singing of the Maori People! Seneko kakona arohanui!
My mum passed wen I was 6 she was from South island this song always makes me feel connected to her in some way never known was it sed before lyrics but always felt the connected to this song somehowe spirituality
Tangaroa Whakamautai is about all our waterways leading into Tangaroa, being the god of the Ocean....about our ocean....our sea creatures as our guardian's. :) this song makes me cry its so beautiful xo
I am from Minahasa of North Sulawesi Indonesia And in our old pre colonial beliefs we have a god of the seas named Tagaroa. Mostly know nowdays as Apo/Opo tasik Apo/Opo= god or lord And another saying for him is Tagaroa i Matua!
Makes me cry every single time. You have the most beautiful voice and speaking about our history and ancestry and how the ocean brought us to where we lived and made us who we are
I'm cook island Maori and love my language. And now I'm in New Zealand I've always wanted to learn New Zealand Maori. I'm glad I took new Zealand Maori as one of my subjects in school because it makes me proud to be a cook island Maori and also New Zealand Maori

Still dreaming of this beautiful country, of these intensive colours and this impression. Sometimes when I fall asleep I see this deep green of the forrest or the bright blue of the lakes or the Pacific Ocean or the icy glimmering of the glaciers in my dreams. Everything there was so colourful... I'm glad I've been to NZ for once in my life.... Beautiful song and greetings from Germany.!
This singer should sing other songs in these wonderful musical sounds and vocalizes. We can feel spiritual harmony with Mother Nature, in her voice. 🥰❤❤❤❤
Thank you for calling me home to a better understanding of you I am, where I come from. An adoption of my grandmother might have kept secrets hidden but in this generation those secrets are being revealed.

This young lady is so talented. She radiates beauty in her music, in her presentation, in voice, in her songs. She is amazing and I am so proud that she followed her dreams and promotes music that is food for all our souls. I am so proud of this young wahine that she is a great role model for our children to look up to. We need more Maisey Rika so come on out rangatahi and share yourselves with the world just like this Maori princess Maisey is doing. Believe it or not I'm sure Maisey wasn't always so confident as she is today. She too had to start somewhere but there is no time to waste feeling shy, not if you love doing whatever it is that makes you happy. It saddens me that so many of our young ones are hiding under their hoodies when I know darn well that they want to sing and dance their hearts out. For far too long we have believed what the keha was saying to us, but those days are over now. They no longer have that power over us to taunt & shame us into the shadows. Only we are able to keep us from achieving our goals or to motivate ourselves forward. Be a success just by doing whatever it is you love to do. Maisey is the finest example of what I am trying to say. You are so talented Maisey. You're also beautiful inside and out. Someone who writes and sings the kind of music that you do obviously is a woman of substance. I love your work. I'm proud of you too, for my grand daughters sake and all our little gems that are just learning about the world. Thank you for everything Maisey.

manuhamoa I’m a Maori boy born and raised in Aōtearoa and I can’t believe how natural it sounded pronouncing your guys versions of Tangaroa.
Kanaloa is our Hawaiian water god
I’m not Māori but my partner is and we have a 7 week old daughter together and from 2 weeks old when she is unsettled I came across this song and I played it it soothed her instantly and does soon as Maisey starts to sings

Out of all the songs I've ever heard throughout my entire life. This is my favourite song.
Im from nz w Māori blood n whānau this song was released in 2012 and it's now 2023 - going onto 2024 this waiata is beautiful and inspirational I've listened t this song for 10 yrs and it's still as lovely as the first ❤
After listening to this consistently for a couple of months I learnt how to pronounce the lyrics and sang along to this song last night in front of my maori partner. He was so surprised and also a little impressed. I just wanted to be able to sing one of my favourite songs in its native language.
AWESOME MUSIC
Aww that's so cute love it this is my nephews favourite song ever he is mouri to
Ka pai e hoa.. well done
Better be careful, you may awaken his taniwha

Maori, is a beautiful language and beautiful culture, and the Maori people are incredible.
I truly wish I was a Maori
maybe in a past life you were, thats why you feel the connection... chur bro
My white/Pakeha friend once said to me i dont have Maori in me but ive been in alot of Maori
Dream Time Cannabis is a plant. 100% natural thats not bad for your soul. Abusing it is.

I'm waiting for immigration nz sistem approve my residency application but my real feelings are that I need this land and people approve. I love Aotearoa, I love maori! thank you for having me here so far!
Much love to you and your family sister
The type of music that has me imagining and feeling the ocean... I'm Rwandan, landlocked and doesn't speak Italian, yet...
This is my favorite Maori song. I always listen to this especially when i travel. I am not a Maori. And neither do i have a Maori blood or relatives. But my fiance is a Maori and i just fell in love with the language when he introduced me to it. I loved this song so much that i actually know every words in it. So much love, all the way from Asia :)
It's not about the blood, though some would tell you it has to be. I'm not either but a kuia once asked me where I was from and I told her where I am descended from, which on both sides is not Maori. Her response was "Yes you are, 'cause I can see your Maori heart." That'll do me...
steve harris Wow you're last name kind of threw me. The Harris name has great significance to Nga Puhi. Maori is a European given name to blanket our IWI so to speak. We were and still call ourselves by our IWI. I think, if I was to give an analogy or, an explanation on what the word Maori means, to me would be a way of life, a way of living with all life, which has been taught to us by our Tupuna or Tipuna (ancestors) all things spiritual and physical, expected of us by our Gods, IWI and family. Maori a way of living. 🤔🙄😏✌
What's the meaning of this song
@Jacky Phantom what are you on about? Our ancestors came from Formosa/Taiwan to Papua New Guinea thousands of years ago (5000). Taiwanese natives are not east Asian looking either they are very dark skinned, kinda like (gasp) black people. And guess what, Papuans are black. Take that anti black racist line somewhere else please. Maori have always had dark skin, doesn't matter how mixed we are as well you are Maori and skin colour or phenotype does not negate that. My great grandparents were full blooded Maori and guess what, their skin was black, their hair was thick. Keep that blood quantum BS too because we see through that as well, it's just another way for colonisers to undermine our rights to ancestral lands and taonga. And if you knew anything about human migration or evolution, you'd realise that there is no such thing as a pure race.
@@slappytheknowscoper558 The meaning is to look after our oceans and what it has to offer.
i swear Maōri Culture is the one of the most beautiful culture in the world. This makes me feel proud to be Polynesian
Kia Ora o Aotearoa
Maori is not beautiful it stupid. Japanese culture is more beautiful also it isn't violent here and people aren't doing drugs. Japanese are more friendly and are not thieves.
@@Lee-ji5sq Yes read the culture and the language it is beautiful! There is good and bad in everyone. Judge not and that will not be judged
Beautiful song, lost count how many times I have listened to this
My goodness her voice!!! 😍😍 even though I'm Samoan and don't understand a word of Maori, I feel so connected. I can't explain it lol
Us Polys are connected to each other after all ❤
For sure
You might like to watch Te Matarai i orehu tribute to the lives lost in Samoa
My sister loves this song
Tangaroa is our guardian of the sea he watches over those while at sea and as for the connection you feel my people originally came from the islands Maori are a group of islanders that came to New Zealand
Māori originally came to Aotearoa from Hawaiki which pretty much all people from across Polynesia can whakapapa (trace back to) so it makes sense you can feel the tūhononga (connection) ☺️
i was browsing thru youtube and came across this. you and your culture is soo beautiful i am hawaiian and i feel like our culture is dead. and listening to this i feel soo happy to feel connected to your culture. aloha. -kapoli
Never dead! But I understand what you mean, as a Maori every little bit of our culture that is shared is precious to us. It's certainly not thriving and only some parts of the country can you witness it. Our language is spoken by so few now and I fear for the future of it, for our identity but it's not over. Be what you want to see, every single person helps.
PO Lee I’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii as a little girl, I don’t think it’s dead. At all. I was always jealous when my friends used to go. But I’m grateful to be living somewhere safe in New Zealand.
Aloha Po Lee , its your couzin Tyler ! Lolz .
PO Lee awww don't hate your culture we love each culture everybody has
PO Lee Kia ora
Such beautiful people and culture. Much love and respect from Guadeloupe.
I played this waiata (song) over and over and over when my grandmother passed away because it made me feel connected to her and helped to soothe my soul.
My Dad created some multimedia shows for Air New Zealand to promote tourism from the USA, way back in the late 70s; he spent a lot of time doing photography in NZ and eventually brought the whole family over to visit. He loved New Zealand, as well as Fiji, Tahiti, and Hawai'i, all places where he spent a lot of time. He recently passed away; but before he did, I spent time in hospice with him and played this hauntingly gorgeous song for him; it had a powerful impact on him, keeping him calm and steady in his last bit of time on this earth. I love this song as well (and video), but especially because it reminds me of my dad now.; can't stop playing it. Tēnā koe for your amazing creativity and ability to communicate to one's heart and soul, no matter their spoken language. ❤
Ataahua tō korero e hoa, may your dad rest in love
@@ohinemuriwilliams3457 Thank you so much!
I travelled to Aotearoa in March 2023...my soul resounded deeply...thanks...
Respect and preserve culture...
whakawhetai from "the island of the painted ones" (Cebu, Philippines)
I love this culture, their music, haka, language etc, I see you from Honduras
I hope visitit New Zealand
I come from the island of Malta or Atlam, remnants of an Atlantis civilization which thrived adjacent to the straights of Heracles, border with Libya. We as an ancient race feel this harmony with nature. Secondly I love this Maori culture and the language is outstandingly full of serendipinty. In fact my dream is to sail from here with my family to Polynesia and live on one of the islands and learn more about Maori culture. And the Haka....wow so powerful. I can imagine Maori as a great warior tribe they were, but the spirit of reviving our cultures we have to bring back. It is time to take back what belongs to your home cultures. I also salute a very good heart and special being that is no longer with us but his spirit still lingers on. He is Saun Wanuii I mean the way he spoke, his magic smile and his forever love he has for his wife Paige.Till then be patient my brother and you shall re unite with your beloved family. Ave................Tehuti
One of the best songs I have ever heard. Aetheral music and Maori language so delicate to my ears. Maori people, do not ever give up. Keep your language and traditions alive from generation to generation. Teach the younger, teach the whole world the way to live with harmony and respect on mother Earth. Greetings from Athens Greece.
we're doing our best, and as long as we have Jacinda, our small country will be a model for the rest of the world...

As a Pakeha who is learning this beautiful language, i am thankful to our kiwi artists who perform in te reo Maori, and challenge me to figure out the learning... to learn to korero Maori and understand the meaning in English as well...

Much love sister from "Aotearoa" New Zealand
@@kinasandwich7624 💗🙏🏾thank you!! That made my day. I was so excited to tell all my friends about the beautiful soulful paradisaic melodious voices I've come to know and search for. THEY ALREADY KNEW!! MOST THEY KNEW BY NAME! YOU'RE BIGGER THAN YOU THINK! WE LOOOVE YOUR MUSIC AND THE JOY IT BRINGS! YOU GUYS KEEP IT COMING!! WE GOT YA!!!
@@Parker3Curry30 six60 band is awesome with Maori translation, Stan walker, Tiki tane
@@kinasandwich7624 thanks! I'll be searching for them. Does any of these artists ever tour the US? I'd love to see them live! Whats the best way to find translations for the language and the songs? I gotta say the Lady's, my Sistas, are killing it!!! If the language were English I'd swear they were any black church gospel choir. Super talented beautiful voices! Just the breath of fresh air that music needs right now, especially here in the US.
How are you sister? Hope you are well in the world. Oh and hope you found the Maori artist I suggested 😀
I'll always come back to this song with a deep sense of belonging to this earth!! Beautiful Maisey Rika
Maiden Tim’s was the first Maori artist I listened to and I have fell in love with the Maori language and culture, and 8 years in I’m always in love with s Maori culture🙏🏾
I don't speak Te Reo, but I can still feel everything this beautiful song conveys. Music transcends language.
Yes im maori myself i listen to this song everyday and even when i sit at the beach.. and play the song while reading a book 📖
I don't know if its just me, I'm Samoan and i found out whenever i listen to Pacific music these type of slow song give me goosebump
As a pinay living in NZ, I feel much safer and more at home here than I had ever been... Was it the closeness of the culture and the fact that people are just so.. Caring? I've been wanting to learn this song because it makes me feel whole. A whole new me. Tena koe, kia kaha koutou (I'm practicing Te Reo, sorry if it sounds bad xD)
Kiaora ❤
I found this wonderful song after playing the game called 'Beyond Blue' and I fell in love!
10 years and I didn't know about this majestic song!
Thanks for gracing us with your voice!
I just started playing it. Was the first song i heard in the sub. Instantly liked it
Same 😍
This is a beautiful song,peaceful and powerfull..altho im not from Maori but from The Netherlands,music has no boundries or language too understand eachother too bring "a message"❤
Truer words were never spoken friend, they are felt
No !! My parents are NOT Kiwi’s lol lol they are from a Tribe called Sioux and we know your language cuz my parents LOVED your island❤️ and we know Otago, Waikari, Ranfurly, Taugaura , and other places and homes there!!! Sunshine Bay Queenstown NZ too!!!….. 💫✨💕

Such a beautiful song and opportunity to learn and feel the love and spirit of our ancestor Tagaroa. This song was part of a recent dream I had which helped me to name my youngest son who just so happened to be born a few hours ago on December 1st, 2022. His name Kanaloaakawaimapunaoha’ena or Kanaloa who dealt fresh spring water of Ha’ena (located on Kaua’i island). Mahalo nui sister for sharing your amazing talent.
Beautiful song!!! I'm Samoan nd also love listening to Maori songs!!! ❤️
I am so completely mesmerized! 🥰
I love this song, this is really beautiful as well as the language, the landscapes and the Maori people. Much love from Tahiti.
carat cute how are you from Tahiti but you don’t know Tahitians speak Maori - same bloodlines descendants from...ask any real Polynesian they will tell you.
@@alexiscolby9415 Bro' I'm from Tahiti as well and Tahitian is pretty different although we all know that we are cousins with any other islanders but we do not understand much except for some words which sound similar. Also I think that you didn't get message left by that person @caratcute .. he/she was simply praising how beautiful the Maori language is .. also where are you from ?
@@rainsnow4486 Um...sorry not a bro...Alexis is a girls name so....yeh. Second, we have some Tahitian friends mainly parents friends so they are elders and they understand most words when my Dad speaks Maori, its a different pronunciation is all. They can have conversations with my Dad although my Dad says they speak a faster pace but he can understand most words. There is a documentary on youtube where Pio Terei (a Maori reporter/tv host) goes to Rapa Nui (Easter Island) and can pretty much understand the locals there, Rapa Nui what is left of the language today is a type of dialect similar to Maori. I did get the message from caratcute and my comment still stands because I wrote it and Im entitled to it. Its common knowledge about our ancient ties and lineage so what I was alluding to was that this person may not be Tahitian but possibly French or something else. I am passionate about Polynesian histories and how a lot of this was bought about via colonization, as Polynesians there are things we collectively know, its innate. Also I'm from Aotearoa, East Coast of the North Island, Iwi is Ngati Porou.
@@alexiscolby9415 I'm also passionate about my culture and the whole Polynesian culture as well and I don't think I need to know more from you. Concerning caratcute I will not speak for him like you did by saying that he/she might be French because ... I don't know that person, then why are you doing a big deal by mentioning Rapa nui? .. if you're really a maori then you should be proud that this person said that you guys have a beautiful language instead of replying some unnecessary arguments leading to misunderstandings. Also I maintained what I said, your language might have similar words but it's not really the same as Tahitian but I do agree that it came from the same roots, the Paumotu maybe is closer to the Maori language.
@@alexiscolby9415 Ma'ohi mā e, Ta'ata tahiti ma, 'a hi'o nae tera ta'ata, ta'ahoa to'a parau e parau fa'ahau, fa'ararahi noa aita ra 'e faufa'a e tama'i no te mea ho'e noa tatau. Now tell me if you can understand then I will leave you the last word.
All my votes would have gone to Maisey Rika for the Waiata Maori Music Awards. your songs get stuck in my head its so soulful, and full of love. All your music reminds us of what maori culture is about.
Am from Papua New Guinea but I love Maorian songs and I am mesmerized by the language.
Daca Taíno! I am Taíno and have become to Aotearoa and it felt as if I was “Home”. Love the music and the beautiful amazing voice singing of the Maori People! Seneko kakona arohanui!

Tangaroa Whakamautai is about all our waterways leading into Tangaroa, being the god of the Ocean....about our ocean....our sea creatures as our guardian's. :) this song makes me cry its so beautiful xo

I am from Minahasa of North Sulawesi Indonesia
And in our old pre colonial beliefs we have a god of the seas named Tagaroa.
Mostly know nowdays as Apo/Opo tasik
Apo/Opo= god or lord
And another saying for him is Tagaroa i Matua!
2024 and I still listen to this beautiful song on and on as a Fijian
I’m here Feb 27 2021. Anyone still listening to her beautiful waiata (song). Angelic to hear and watch 😇🥰
Makes me cry every single time. You have the most beautiful voice and speaking about our history and ancestry and how the ocean brought us to where we lived and made us who we are

Still dreaming of this beautiful country, of these intensive colours and this impression. Sometimes when I fall asleep I see this deep green of the forrest or the bright blue of the lakes or the Pacific Ocean or the icy glimmering of the glaciers in my dreams. Everything there was so colourful... I'm glad I've been to NZ for once in my life....
Beautiful song and greetings from Germany.!
This singer should sing other songs in these wonderful musical sounds and vocalizes. We can feel spiritual harmony with Mother Nature, in her voice. 🥰❤❤❤❤
I do wish I carried some of this beautiful culture in my veins. Many kind regards NZ and Maoris, from California. I will visit you some day soon!

This young lady is so talented. She radiates beauty in her music, in her presentation, in voice, in her songs. She is amazing and I am so proud that she followed her dreams and promotes music that is food for all our souls. I am so proud of this young wahine that she is a great role model for our children to look up to. We need more Maisey Rika so come on out rangatahi and share yourselves with the world just like this Maori princess Maisey is doing. Believe it or not I'm sure Maisey wasn't always so confident as she is today. She too had to start somewhere but there is no time to waste feeling shy, not if you love doing whatever it is that makes you happy. It saddens me that so many of our young ones are hiding under their hoodies when I know darn well that they want to sing and dance their hearts out. For far too long we have believed what the keha was saying to us, but those days are over now. They no longer have that power over us to taunt & shame us into the shadows. Only we are able to keep us from achieving our goals or to motivate ourselves forward. Be a success just by doing whatever it is you love to do. Maisey is the finest example of what I am trying to say. You are so talented Maisey. You're also beautiful inside and out. Someone who writes and sings the kind of music that you do obviously is a woman of substance. I love your work. I'm proud of you too, for my grand daughters sake and all our little gems that are just learning about the world. Thank you for everything Maisey.
