The Waiata - A Song in Your Heart

Hello, blogging world. It is day 4 and today is all about music. Today we had to find a Waiata online and show why we liked it. I looked through many but the first one I saw was awesome it was called... Taku Rākau, Haramai a Paoa. It was so lovely and nice because both male and female had to perform the song and the video was performed in a crowd of people. Here is my song.

As  I said before the song is nice and lovely. The song is about going to war,m fighting to save this country and being confident. These peoples voices are so nice together it looked like they practiced a lot. I also found another one which sounds great it is recorded in someone house and it sounds as good as the Female and Males. Here is the Link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKpPRWa4rQA . The song is very bold and gentle at the same time.
Thank you, everybody, For reading this blog post. If you would like to see more of my work scroll down. Please feel free to comment anywhere on my blog. I will see you in the next post until then... BYE!

  1. Kia ora Lily,

    Wow, you have chosen a beautiful and striking waiata to share with us. I think you are right as this waiata sounds good with both male and female voices. Woman didn't tend to fight in war but were still known to sing this waiata. When do you think the woman would have sung this in its traditional form? Maybe next next you could share the lyrics with us so that we can understand the waiata in more detail.

    Blog you later,

    1. Hello Megan,

      Thank you for the awesome comment. I feel the women would have song this in the 1750? Next time I do an activity like this I will make sure to add the lyrics/ more detail. Hope you are enjoying 2018,

      Lily
