Thank you for your kind words about the waiata and our impromptu performance during your this trying time. Quite a noble gesture. Get well, Piripi.
Taku iti Kahurangi My beautiful treasure He waiata tēnei i totoa ngātahi e māua ko taku wahine, ko Angela. He whakaaro whānui ki te ope nā mātou anō i whakaako, i manaaki. I mutu kau noa atu te hanga waiata nei ki te whare o Riki Pītama i Rāpaki, nāna te kupu “Ūpoko Āriki” hei huringa ingoa i tā mātou ko te “Taikākā Āriki” kē. Ko te rā whakaoti ai, ko te 10.08.09 My wife Angela and I completed the composition of this waiata at Riki Pītama’s home in Rāpaki on 09.10.08. He advised that the Ngāi Tahu term for Taikākā Āriki, (which was penned in the original draft), as being Ūpoko Āriki, hence the lyric is composed here as it stands to further recognise the iwi. The composition was completed on the 10th of August 2009.

@etorungamea So grateful for you sharing this beautiful waiata with such heart touching words. The way it was sung, the quiet melodic music where you could hear all the notes took me back to years long gone when my dad and a few other sat around just singing quietly like you just did. Wish we could have more of those days back now. Thank you so so much. Tukuna nga mihi nunui rawa atu kia koutou
