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.
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.
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
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
I'm a New Zealander, living in the United States. Still very much in love with my beautiful homeland, I love finding these amazing Aotearoa artists online like Maisey Rika and Stan Walker. Hoping to visit home in January - excited! 💛🇳🇿
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) ☺️
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.
@@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 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.
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.
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 ♥️
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💕
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.
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 😇
@@shelleymiddlebrook1265 Kia Ora Shelley! Aoteroa is a wonderful place! A Manaia pounamu I wear on my neck from the river of this land, reminds me the beauty of nature and also protect my footsteps! Nga Mihi Shelley!
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
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. ❤
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.********
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"❤
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)
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...
This singer should sing other songs in these wonderful musical sounds and vocalizes. We can feel spiritual harmony with Mother Nature, in her voice. 🥰❤❤❤❤
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!

@@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.
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!

Mexican born from immigrants who came from Mexico, I now very little about your people and culture. However I do know that I'm not going to let the American whites wash away my pride in my Aztec heritage because my parents instilled the core values into every part of my existential makeup. I'm always keen to learning new things about you beautiful people and everything else about what it means to be a proud person of color and culture that is indigenous. Sending greetings from Indiana in the United States.

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 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.
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.
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
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🙏🏾
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.
I was pregnant with my son when this song came out when he was born he would stop crying, listen then next minute he would be fast asleep.. turns out 6 years later he still loves this song so much
Te ataahua koki tera waiata! Katahi ano au ka ata whakarongo ki era kupu. Ka taea e ahau te kite te hohonutanga ki roto i nga kupu katoa. Nga mihi mahana ki te kai tito waiata me te wahine rangatira a Maisey hoki. E whakamoemiti ana korua te tapu o te taiao me te tohora hoki. Miharo!
this has to be one if not the most beautiful Maori song i have ever heard in my entire life. She makes me want to go to New Zealand, marry a Maori and become a New Zealander
+flavio de carvalho That's awesome to hear :) only 4% of the Maori people are fluent in our language. People like Maisey Rika really encourage us to embrace it
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 is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard! What a video, what e scenery not to forget to mention the stunning singer and her beautiful voice 🙏🏻🤗✨ I’m a singer and global nomad, who has sang in over 50 languages (Hawaiian, Javanese, Esperanto, Turkish, Arabic…) and different music genres, but this song kept me speechless.

I m well traveled, live in NZ for two years now, Love Maori culture,NZ and 'Tangaroa Whakamautai'. This song takes me to another world. Thanks Maisey Rika and your Uncle for this beautiful song. (Thumbs up from Sri Lanka)
Was missing my love tonight, and this is his people. 5 years gone now and it still feels as it he left yesterday. This song always help calm me. Ka nui taku aroha ki a koe. 💞 "Me tangi, kāpā ko te mate i te marama." 🥺
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
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.

I'm from the Republic of Palau, but this song and her voice has such a magical warmth that just transports me to where she is. I do not understand a single word, but I could feel every note she sang and the scenery is beyond breathtaking. With the natural landscape and how she emotes her lyrics, it just feels like such a deep connection to the earth. It is one of those songs that seems to revive one's soul and makes us realize that we are just a small part of a much larger scheme of things.💙
This song is so beautiful. My daughters and could tell it is a praise song, without translation we can feel the respect, and awe in her voice. Thank you so much for sharing the beauty of your culture. God Bless.
Te mauri a tangaroa, no words could explain how much respect I have for this super natural being.

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) ☺️

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.

I am not Maori . But, as a person of Celtic origin , we honour nature also.
This song remembers me that my sis was playing this song
I am quarter Māori
@@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
Where tf is that
Tangaroa is Kanaloa to us Hawaiian's...beautiful song...you honor the greatest Navigator of ALL the Ages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!!!
Kohala Iron Works in samoan its tagaloa
Yes Moesha, Tagaloa (Samoa), Ta'aroa (Tahiti), Kanaloa (Hawaii) and Tangaroa ('Avaiki & Aotearoa). Yep we are all one people, proud to be a Polynesian.
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 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
I'll always come back to this song with a deep sense of belonging to this earth!! Beautiful Maisey Rika
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

As a Samoan, I find that this song is both eerie and at the same time beautiful..I love the sound of Maisey Rika. Malo lava.
She is half Samoan Kia Ora e kare

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.

dont bother its vastly overrated, Aussie better people real friendly
Greetings from Egypt 🇪🇬 👋🏻 I love this ❤
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.

My 6 month will only fall asleep if this song is playing 🥰
I like this form rita ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
2024 and I still listen to this beautiful song on and on as a Fijian
The type of music that has me imagining and feeling the ocean... I'm Rwandan, landlocked and doesn't speak Italian, yet...
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 mean she is but what about the hall
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)

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 😍
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 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.

Beautiful song!!! I'm Samoan nd also love listening to Maori songs!!! ❤️
I'm a non Maori New Zealander and find this song so hauntingly beautiful and rhe singer is beautiflly the same.
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.

Such a beautiful song and opportunity to learn and feel the love and spirit of our ancestor Tagaroa.

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.

+flavio de carvalho That's awesome to hear :) only 4% of the Maori people are fluent in our language. People like Maisey Rika really encourage us to embrace it

I'm from the Republic of Palau, but this song and her voice has such a magical warmth that just transports me to where she is. I do not understand a single word, but I could feel every note she sang and the scenery is beyond breathtaking. With the natural landscape and how she emotes her lyrics, it just feels like such a deep connection to the earth. It is one of those songs that seems to revive one's soul and makes us realize that we are just a small part of a much larger scheme of things.💙
