I'm Samoan. They performed this in Cook Island Maori when I was in college in 1980s. Started off with Kia orana 🎶🎶 Always loved this song. Grew up around a lot of Maori and listening to lots of traditional waiatas. Always brings happy memories to me.

I'm Tokelauan,Rarotongan,Samoan and german. My Tokelauan is the most spoken korero spoken at home. Born and raised in Aoutearoa and find Rarotongan and Tokelau are the closest language to te reo. My nan and mum loved waita Maori because they understood word for word and would translate and sing these waita in their own reo. So beautiful.

[@ChrisEAdlay]

Tokelau is closest to Samoan and Tuvaluan. Toke has some old consonants and the original proto Polynesian K which is found in Maori and was once in Samoan which is why Maori is understood to a degree.
