Tiki Taane 'Tangaroa' at the VNZMAs 2008

[@Korygg]

They do their ancestors proud by honoring and continuing on with traditions handed down..They're are a very noble people.

[@leretour23]

I love the Maori culture, I wish one day I could visit New Zealand and assist to one of the Maori shows. Much love from Canada.

[@kathlynemarkham3119]

♥️ Aloha from Waikīkī

[@stephendennis5911]

What a beautiful powerful performance

[@claytonives-og6kv]

Love from Sydney, as a first nations brother this song still blows me away I love all my people's

[@wutdafeezy]

Wow. I love the MAORI and their culture. Much respect from a proud Samoan.

[@mtruapehu187]

you gotta love a guy who is taking his culture to the future and sharing it with the world, for that Tiki I admire you! much respect

[@CoreyEdwards2]

I'm Pakeha New Zealand-born from Tokoroa. I've been living in Australia for a long time. Pretty much all of my parent's friends in NZ were Maori. I was partly raised by Maori. Beautiful people. Just awesome. I choked up watching this.

[@Andizu1]

Just recently got this in my recommended, I think because I'm getting into folk/native music. Thanking KZbin big time, I loved every minute of it! Didn't know anything about Maori yet, very interesting culture! Love from the Netherlands!

[@taipete]

Thank you for this. I am Maori. Nga pui of the northern Ngati Paroa. I have found spiritual sanctuary amongst the aboriginal community of Canada. In so doing I can occasionally forget my own Mana. Thank you for bringing me home. Back to my people

[@badlerify]

Peter McDowell your tribe thought they weren't us brother

[@keripage4248]

Bless....you are always home .....in spirit in mind

[@hokiepokie333_CicadaMykHyn]

I was most definitely born in the wrong land... I am a true warrior at heart, and I feel a connection to these warriors! Semper Fidelis!

[@aoryn]

Amazing! Non-stop goosebumps and chills throughout the entire performance.

[@weesasse]

You dont need to be Maori to feel the spiritual-ness of this song......beautiful stuff Tiki Bless ya dub soldier

[@deonvanrooyen5920]

One of my best performances from Aotearoa!

[@TheChrisWest]

I've had this song in my playlist for over 15 years I reckon. just googled it and was not disappointed! You guys made my NZ trip epic. A memory never forgotten.

[@crystalbates4964]

One of the greatest performance's I have ever seen

[@maorivolcanicsband]

Much respect to the new generation of Maori performers. Kia Kaha!

[@angelrace8103]

I like that sound, which Tki Taane is making with the seashell named conch shell.:). His, and other males performance was prefect. They all did their performance from their clean heart naturally. I can feel their mind-body-soul, was in balance , with the presence of all the spiritually clean things.

[@GflashEx2000]

I FUCKING LOVE NEW ZEALAND AND THE MAORI WARRORS!

[@patycreepy]

Isso é simplesmente lindo...estou toda arrepiada,,muito espiritual!

[@Marcseedsman]

A verdadeira essência do reino do mar.

[@systemsfailed]

Think about it, you're on a boat, in the middle of the worlds harshest wasteland. It's the middle of the night, only the haunting glow of the heavens reflecting off of drifting glaciers lets you know that anything is there. From the abyss, a strange, haunting music comes. Your captain checks his radar, but there's nothing there. A stealth ship is emitting this music, seemingly out of nowhere, from the night. Wouldn't that be even the slightest bit creepy?

[@willialm2008]

powerful performance loved it.

[@sole-man3963]

Best!

[@janerenstrom2664]

this should of been the rugby world cup theme song!

[@StopFear]

Jan Erenstrom no, come on. It’s a culturally valuable music, but it is not very appealing as a musical piece on its own.

Wow!
