Kete Toru: He Kohinga Waiata Māori / A collection of Māori songs

Published on Sep 21, 2020

PSEC Presbyterian Support East Coast

Waiata is a medium widely used in Māori culture to connect internally and externally, spiritually and physically with people and the environment. It has many forms of expression that permeate through cultural practices that allow Māori to welcome, farewell, acknowledge, express, cleanse, heal, shed, give thanks, share, give, uplift and recover towards health and wellbeing. We acknowledge and give thanks to the composers whose songs feature in this book. We appreciate the beautifully-written thoughts in their compositions. The purpose of this book is to assist you in learning these songs, to uplift your spirit, bring happiness, have fun and entertain yourselves.
