Māori songs, war chants, melodies and ditties are essential components of Māori life, traditon, custom and protocol. From celebration and acknowledgement of life and death to the issuing of verbal challenges at special events, Māori songs or waiata are still sung and performed today, thus ensuring a connection from the past to the present. Waiata, old and new provide a doorway to Māori culture and heritage. With this App we are able to provide access to the world of Māori waiata. The items presented and performed here are well known in Aotearoa/New Zealand.
