Maori waiata

Reggae artist Fiji gets One Love crowd singing Maori waiata at Tauranga festival

International reggae star Fiji, real name George Veikoso, was on stage at this year's One Love Festival when he began to rouse the crowd to join in as he sangĀ E Papa Waiari.

A video taken on stage by one of his team, Bernz Talanoa, has tonight racked up more than half a million views.

As the camera sweeps across the masses, they sing together: "E papa waiari, taku nei mahi, taku nei mahi, he tuku roimata.

"E aue, e aue. Ka mate au. E hine, hoki mai ra,'' the crowd sings.

Thousands of people have shared the video, with many commenting about its uniqueness.
