Gotta react to his kanye west cover of ultralight beam....he smashes it

[@kahu54KiOM]

Thanks guys. Stan's tattoos are all real. Great reaction. Awesome insights and comments about Stan's performance and his look. His ethnicity is Maori from New Zealand. The nature scenes are real, they are indeed volcanic plateaus and natural bush, as well as waterfalls, coastal sunrises... all located in his general district where his family lives in Bay of Plenty New Zealand. Great comments.

[@andreamatheson5760]

His documentary on his cancer journey, removal of his stomach etc, is here on KZbin. Well worth a watch. Also Amazing Grace, cover of Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House and his cover of Ultralight Beam by Kanye are insane. He's a very proud man of Maori descent from here in Aotearoa New Zealand. He is absolutely amazing and so humble too.

[@ellemcpher8835]

So glad you’ve discovered New Zealand’s Stan Walker. This was filmed and produced with him and a couple of mates in two weeks. He sounds even better live. You’re in for a treat 🙂

[@tanianature2511]

Awesome reaction he pulled your wairua in. From the beginning of comical conversation to being magnetised by his vocal awesomeness! ☝🏾💯

[@nikkil2580]

Hi from Australia 👋 Oh yeah you GOTTA check out him doing Ultralight Beam. The man has an incredible personal history thats worth checking out too. And he remains so authentic and humble. He's SPECIAL guys. Jump down this rabbit hole - you won't regret it. Subbed in anticipation of you discovering more of Stan ❤

Traditionally Maori Ta Moko (tattoo) is chiselled into the skin.

[@tyronmcalister3403]

New sub here also. I'm from New Zealand and I love how our culture music is being reacted to from all over the world. We're also trying to keep our culture and language alive in our own country. Unfortunately we have majority of New Zealand Europeans trying to get rid of it. Not only that is happening at the moment. It has only just starting a movement towards this current Government. We've just got over 1 million Māori here in (Aotearoa) New Zealand. We just want to be included in all decision making that includes us all here equally. Anyway, that's for embracing and reacting to our waiata (song). We have plenty more for you guys to listen too from our little country at the bottom of the world 😊

His voice is a gift.... but his soul is also a gift.... He's an incredible human💖💖💖

[@080gina080]

Stan is amazing artist. Check his older "New Takeover". Definitely his cover of "Ultralight Beam". Also "New Light" is also moving. His most recent "Māori Ki Te Ao" has cool island feel. He battled stomach cancer and had his stomach removed! He wasn't even sure he'd be able to sing the same afterwards but he has remained amazing ❤👍

[@michelerobertson8276]

I love New Takeover! I have become a Stan fan, not just for his music, but for the amazing human he is.

[@colechambers9524]

Knowing who you are and where you come from can be a source of strength. Unique, we all are. Different, yes we all are. Underneath it all, we breathe the same air and our blood is the same colour. One world, one breath, one humanity, one love. Respect each other, love each other. Let racism die…

The tattoos are called tamoko and yes they are real.

This song is from the American movie, Origins. We have to know where we come from, to know where we're going. The language is Maori, from the indigenous people of, NZ. Luvn you're, reactions. New sub, righthere.🙏😍🎯💯☝️

[@electlady1955]

Stan and two of his friends produced the video and all the scenes are places in New Zealand where he and his wife come form.....Stan wrote the song I AM very talented man who is indigenous Maori from NZ. Go down the Stan Rabbit hole and check out his wide range of song...some cover rest his own. Hear him live he is 🔥🔥🔥

[@maryannesmith1392]

Stan’s music is awesome, he has stayed true to who he is. You should watch the doco on his when he went through cancer struggle…he now sings without a stomach. New Zealanders have huge respect for what he Stan’s for, a nice person.

[@eastchchkea6475]

Kaitiakitanga. Is a Māori concept meaning guardianship. That we don’t own nature, but are guardians of it. We keep it in trust for future generations. I wish this simple, but powerful concept was universal. Because, we’re trashing this planet and it’s the only habitable home we have. A home that’s hospitable environment teeters on a knife edge

[@kailageorge2810]

He actually watched the movie and this song is the result of the movie, he is a full Maori born in Australia but now living in New Zealand with his family and yes the tattoos are real it represents his Whanau his iwi (Family and tribe) he is acknowledging his ancestors. The places you see are actually his home land around his home.

[@ksamaseia]

Stan also does a live studio version of I AM.

[@BJM217]

King you have the right attitude, my family here in Australia have tried to stop buying plastic anything even our milk we now buy in glass, we recycle everything and that’s how we can make small changes.

You should watch #stanwalker STAN WALKER DOCUMENTARY about his battle with stomach cancer. You will get to know what an incredible man he is. He now has no stomach after major surgery and had to learn to sing all over again completely retraining his diaphragm with no stomach to support it. Also please watch Stan’s version of Ultralight Beam (Kanye). It’s amazing ❤️👍🏼

[@skylagaaia1683]

To all Polynesians, Maori included of which Stan proudly represents, our history, ancestors, and Origin, dictates the people and person we become today. This song speaks to all who listens to seek out your origin, and to know your ancestors and stand proud of who they are, and the journey they struggled through, to bring you into being. We believe that your future is lost, and your direction is aimless, without the strong foundation your ancestors left to you. So seek your heritage, know your past, and stand proud fully knowing the sacrifices that brought you to today, and the great person you have become. KNOW YOUR ORIGIN!!!..and give thanks to those of your family gone on before you… Awes9me video guys…welcome to the rabbit hole that is the unique…. Stan Walker

[@katrogue9239]

New Sub. I am a stan of stan LOL Loved your guy's reaction. Stan mentioned in an interview how he grew up watching 'The Avatar' and loved the character Ang. The tattoo is influenced from it but has a more Traditional and deeper meaning. Stan is very creative and is very intentional with every song and video he makes (Lyrics, Traditional attire, scenes etc). It is made with pure love and respect for our culture, but it is also music that empowers and inspires all people Internationally. Look forward to more reactions from my fave Nz Artist, much love from Nz. Ava discovered Stan through his Kanye West cover 'Ultralight Beam' Powerful vocals, pls check it out.

[@kukimonsta5835]
