Stan’s music is fantastic. What you are seeing is the Maori culture, the land u see is New Zealand. Stan co wrote this song and him and a friend video it around New Zealand. Every movement u are see, clothing, tattoos have a meaning in the Maori culture. As a New Zealand ( white I am), I’m so proud of the Maori culture which is a huge part of New Zealand.

Stan is one of our treasures he is devoted to the preservation of the Maori language called Te Reo it is one of our official languages, here in New Zealand.

So happy to see your reaction to Stan Walker. You can’t go wrong with pretty much any of his music but I think you would love Ultralight Beam and his version of Amazing Grace. Enjoy. ❤🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
