Tangi A Te Ruru 

I am English have no connection what so ever, but I listen to Maori song most every day ,it is magical and totally uplifting for my spirit and soul l can even imagine how Maori feel when singing l have never seen a face with out a smile , absolutely uplifting thank you very much for sharing your song with the world

I remember watching on TV in the 80s one big celebration for the exhibition Te Maori 💗 the return of many taonga tupuna from the states. This particular song was known by us waikato people for that significant time in history. Uenuku was returned alive and healthy and will forever be. Kia ora Kahungunu!!!!

MY FAVOURITE MAORI WAIATA 😁😁😊😊😊🧡🧡🧡

Beautiful. And that last small move back on their heel on the word "tonu" is Awesome. Love this so much.
