These boys are from New Zealand, the language is Te reo Maori. This song is the story of the battle of Pukehinahina. British forces suffered a humiliating defeat in the Battle of Gate Pā (Pukehinahina) on 29 April 1864, with 31 killed and 80 wounded despite vastly outnumbering their Maori foe.
It was an embrassement to the British on how could 1,700 (approx) soldiers and sailors be defeated by just 250 (approx) Maori warriors. Maori abided by the Code of Conduct, which was agreed upon before the battle started, didn't "finish off" the wounded Bristish soldiers but instead gave them water before they left the pa. The British, being sore losers at that time, took their revenge 2 months later and attacked 500 unprepared Maori. Its amongst one of the bloodiest NZ wars.
3 teenagers from New Zealand who are part Maori and sing in Maori too. One of them has not long graduated from high school and the other two are a little older but still teenagers. In fact, they toured the US as a support band for another band and weren't allowed to perform at one of the shows because of the 21 year old age restriction at the venue. So they did a show of their own for some Native Americans on a nearby reservation. And the guy who's butt cheeks you referred to is a Maori warrior. PLEASE REACT TO Ahi Kā by Alien Weaponry
Gotta go to work, but yeah teenagers. The drummer and guitarist are brothers and were 15 and 17 when they recorded this. The bass player was 15 also. They turn 18 20 and 18 this year. They are from New Zealand and singing in teo maori. others will will you in more or I will when I get home from work.
3 boys from New Zealand 2 of them are brothers who are of Maori decent. They sing some songs in both English and Maori but some of it is in all Maori like this song. The third member has been accepted as part of the Maori tribe as being friends and basically family with the other two. and most of these songs revolve around their ancestry having to fight the English when they invaded. That's the bare bones of what I know. Super cool band love them. They were so great live when they opened for Ministry and so nice to talk to as they did a meet and greet between their set and Ministry's set.
New Zealand teenagers with Maori descent. They sing in Maori to help bring the language back. We kura Maori schools in NZ we also teach Maori in main stream schools but main curriculum is English.
By the subtitles it’s about death and a battle. They kept saying death has arrived and that someone is Mistaken. They also mention tunnels and ditches which with death makes me think of a battle in a war. I don’t know how close I am yet it feels right lol
When you get the chance can you please react to Morgan Wallen’s “Cover Me Up” short film? such a great song and cover, and an amazing story to watch to go with it. His vocals are insane.
