This song is well known in New Zealand, with the name being "E Te Iwi E" I love how this group performed the song in their own language.

This song known in NZ as Te Iwi e has its own unique style and the way this Group performed the song was done with enjoyment you only have to see the look on all their faces to know that

Absolutely loved this! Saw a doco about Hawaiian kōrero revival, and the equivalent of a kōhanga here in Aotearoa. Heard this version of a well known waiata and fell in love!
