The most amazing thing about this. You can bet pretty much none of them have any formal vocal training or coaching just get together break out the guitar, sing and out comes these harmonies naturally. Just beautiful.

All our history, our heroes our chiefs our warriors and battles was and still is passed down through waiata (songs and chants, Haka and school of learning. We understand the amplification of using certain hill forms and structures to carry our voices and the distance sound could travel at night and early morning, we were definitely one with our environment.

[@tonileejames1767]

[@Nikora.Biddle]

I believe us as māori people are missing that connection to our land. (If you don't live in Aotearua) I've been in Aus for the majority of my life, but this past year I've decided I want to learn more about my culture. I joined a kapa haka group & it was the best decision I've made. I love singing with the bros & the hakas... especially the hakas. Just so much mana in our culture that not everyone gets to experience. I am blessed to be māori & love every secomd of it.

[@Nikora.Biddle]

I am yearning to return home to the uruweras. I have very fond memories as kid playing in the streams. I simply love Māori culture. 😁
