Day 4: Hitting a High Note…
Activity 1: The Waiata - A Song in Your Heart
In the past, Māori would often use song as a way of sharing information or communicating emotions. A waiata is the name given to a traditional Māori song. One of my all-time favourite waiata is Kia Paimarie. What about you?
Use Google to research traditional Māori Waiata. Listen to a number of Waiata and read the lyrics. On your blog tell us which one of the waiata you found you like the most. Why do you like it?
My Favourite Waiata |Hoki Mai
I love this song because it has a nice beat to it and the first words Hoki mai mean (COME BACK)
Hey there Akesa,
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing your favourite Waiata with us. I like how you included a line from the song and the meaning in English.
