We have great respect for Stan down here in New Zealand, we also respect the Maori culture. Stan has had cancer and now has no stomach…there are so many songs he sings are amazing.
There is incredible beauty in this song. It speaks to my soul, my wairua. Thank you Stan. Free indigenous people all across the world. Our thoughts are with Palestinians.
I thought the video was unbelievably beautiful, as was his voice. No, I've never heard of him before, but that's what I enjoy about your channel. New experiences. As always, great reaction Hap ✌️ ☮️ 🥷
Not bad for someone who had his entire cancerous stomach removed and then 15 operations since then to deal with the complications! Stan’s story on RUclips is heart wrenching I can’t recommend it highly enough, it’s so inspirational. ❤
Something new for me again, but how incredible 🤩. I love everything about it. His voice, the combination of languages to honor their heritage, the epic sound, the bass and last but not least the very fitting visuals. This literally took me on a musical journey - amazing 🤩☺️. And once again a great reaction along with a commentary from my favorite reactor. A perfect end to a long day. Thanks HAP 🥰🙋🏻♀️
You should hear Stan sing this or any song LIVE... it'll blow you away! Same intensity passion and fire in every song! 15 year Stan fan right here! Arohanui whanau ❤
tBeautiful, just beautiful!! His voice, the song the cinematography, I also have not until now heard of this artist! I totally enjoyed Your analogy and thoughts of this work of art it was spot on!!💜🎵
🎉 Stan Walker is of Maori descent and I believe you are thinking of the HAKA dance. Hap, really enjoyed your reaction to "I Am". You totally got the pride of Origin aspect. I find everything about it compelling. Stan Walker has just released a new song "Ki Taku Awa" that is another showcase for his amazing voice. He won New Zealand Idol in 2009. I love the freshness and newness of his sound.
@HAP3SPEAKZ check out 'Ki Taku Awa' Back to the River (english version) stunningly beautiful visually and musically ruclips.net/video/x5dnHDh5wp8/видео.htmlsi=_vIvwwgzn7afvPzt
Beautiful reaction Welcome to the Stan Walker family. After reacting to all his beautiful music check out the life story of what he was an has become. Kia kaha Be strong, much love see you in the next reaction
Welcome to this journey, Stan Walker was born in Australia, but he whakapapas back to New zealand. He does covers and writes his own songs. Really enjoyed ur reaction and ur on point, too, with ur reaction. Nice one, bro.
Stan sung this waiata (song) today on Parliament grounds here in Aotearoa [New Zealand] in support of the Toitū Te Tiriti Hikoi [stand/protest] against the Treaty Principles Bill that the coalition government has proposed. Over 50k people of all nationalities gathered on parliament grounds today opposing the bill.
Translation: He toi ora ahau nou - I am your vitality Te toi no Kurawaka - The source from Kurawaka ( the waters where life began ) Taku rongomaiwhiti e - My unique sacredness Takiri ko te haeata - The dawn breaks Anga atu ki te Ra - Face the light of the new day Whiti whiti ki te ora e - Shine, cross over to life Hou mai ra - Resounding To rongo e - Are your deeds Tau mai ra - Received To karere - Is your message Mau tonu e - It remains Tuturu whakamaua kia tina - Bind together, fix and affirm Haumi e - It is affirmed Hui e - Bound together Taiki e - In unity
Yup checkout more Stan. Def "Ultralight Beam", also he does "I Am" live with the Levites. Other good ones not mentioned here is "New Light" live with the Levites, also awesome. And one a little older which is pretty cool "New Takeover". He looks a bit different in that music video because it was before he had his stomach removed due to stomach cancer and was had more weight. And still sings like a boss! His family's cancer story is a documentary on RUclips as well. ❤
Thankyou for reacting to Stan. Cor blimey .. I haven't her that term in years but I said it as a kid! This song is a call to all of us to find and honour our heritage especially those who experience racism. The movie ORIGIN for which Stan wrote this is about the root of racism.
Cor Blimey. Haps you beauty you finally came across our NZ treasure called Stan Walker my man thank you for the great reaction I’ve been waiting for this for years watching you my man. You are the best reactor on here no lie. Stan has an amazing rabbit hole so please react to more of his work mate. Here’s the go too for his songs ok? Ultralightbeam live with the Levites, Amazing Grace live with the Levites again. Back to the River is his latest release showing his skills at changing genre where he shows his old school RnB creativity? Māori ki te Ao, I will let you surprise yourself with this one coz it’s surprising. “Choose” ft Del Hamo. Bigger live with the Levites. Anything with the Levites is good lol. He is a miracle our Stan has survived stomach cancer with the Grace of God which is why he’s so in touch with his gospel too. Had his stomach removed to beat the cancer but can still sing like an Angel from heaven. Thanks Haps you are and always will be the man. Glad I subscribed to you that very first time you reacted to your 1st SRV culminating in watching his gift Stevie left to us all which was Riviera Paradise his masters class on guitar yeah cor blimey RIP Stevie Ray Vaughan the GOAT. Luv you Haps. Watching from NZ bruv.

Hate to burst your bubble kuzzy but Walker is not Maori or even a New Zealander. He's a born n bred Aussie from Melbourne who was "discovered" on Australia's Got Talent years ago .. as kiwi as Albo sorry mate
He was born in Aussie, spent half his life between nz and Australia, he is Maori, his parents are Maori from New Zealand. Sorry to burst your bubble
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣born in Australia,to Maori parents, moved back to NZ at 2 weeks old
Attended primary school and part of High school in NZ , moved back to Australia and attended his last couple of years in High school in Australia, auditioned for Australian idol at 18 and won.
He now lives in NZ but like many of us Māori have family living in Australia.
He identifies as MAORI …… 😝 don’t know where you got your information from kinda hilarious that you said he wasn’t Maori or a New Zealander 🤣🤣🤣
Aye ?!?! Russia ?!?! 😂🤣😂🤣
