    Water and all nature play a big part in Māori culture. That river is the first body of water to have human rights given on this planet . As we are one here with nature. Water here ranges from the cleanest on earth found in the South Island to the muddy brown u just saw in the video as it is constantly being feed from the hills bringing trees to mud with it. Māori believe we do not own land, we are guardians of it for our future generations.❤ arohanui from Aotearoa (New Zealand).

    Nothing nasty in the river - it's just a little muddy after the rain with runoff from hills

    Thanks, guys! I loved all your reactions and comments-they were awesome! Just so you know, Stan has two other versions of this song recorded in the studio: one in Māori and another in English. They're both amazing! Seriously, he's super talented! Sending love from New Zealand! 🇳🇿 ❤❤❤❤

    Nice reaction. If your wanting more info on Stan there is a documentary called My True Story. Documents him going through getting his stomach removed because of cancer . There are plenty of interviews with him . There is a TV show called the walkers *reality show. There was a TV special called impossible live . That's a live version of his book

    Currently you've done
    Tennessee Whiskey
    Ultralight Beam
    I Am
    Maori Ki Te Ao
    Back To The River ... there is also the Maori version "Ki Taku Awa"
    His studio series with "The Levites" (Session Band) and "The Standard" (Backing Group) is also worth checking out:
    Don't Dream It's Over
    Circle Of Life (Medley)
    Bigger & TUA (Maori version)
    New Light
    He Kakano Ahau
    Inside Out
    Inventing Myself

    Or his orher collaborations and solo's:

    Or perhaps his Australian Idol journey when his was first discovered in 2009.
    Not to mention his latest offering in collaboration with another Kiwi band you should definitely jump on, L.A.B. This is a stripped down acoustic version of a song I'm sure you're familiar with, The father of NZ Reggae, affectionately known here as "Uncle Bob".
