| Overview |
In 1984 stond een Maori popliedje bovenaan de hitlijsten in Nieuw-Zeeland. Het was niets minder dan een wonder dat de muziek met teksten in de Maori taal dergelijk succes zou kunnen bereiken. Het waren de hoogdagen van Tina Turner en Michael Jackson - en natuurlijk waren de meeste nummers gezongen in het Engels. |

| Overview |
Written and directed by Tearepa Kahi (Mt Zion) and starring Maaka Pohatu (The Modern Maori Quartet, Two Little Boys) the film tells the story of musician Dalvanius Prime and the origin of the song “Poi E”, a ground-breaking fusion of 1980s pop and traditional Māori music. “Poi E”, composed by Dalvanius and Ngoingoi Pēwhairangi and performed by the Patea Māori Club, remains the only song in Te Reo Māori to reach No 1 in the charts, over 30 years since its 1984 release. |
