Tribute from Prince Tui Teka for the 28th Māori Battalion
Te Karere- Māori Battalion
Tuini Ngawai- Arohaina Mai
Tuini Ngawai (1910 - 1965) was an awesome writer of beautiful songs. This song, Arohaina mai, was written in 1940 and is considered by many to be the greatest Māori song ever written.
It is the unofficial hymn of the Maori Battalion. It is said that on her way home from a service for the C Battalion, held on the Waiparapare Marae at Tokomaru Bay, she sat down on the roadside to rest and the words came into her mind.
This video is to honour Tuini and Te Hoko whitu a Tu; which toured New Zealand during the Second World War, performing and collecting funds for the Maori Battalion overseas.
