Ka kawea atu te whakangahau ki tō whare e ō kaiwaiata makau, Te Tokowhā Māori Hou.
Ka tūtaki te Modern Māori Quartet i tētahi tokotoru i whakaora anō i te waiata ‘Sweet Inspiration’ a ngā Yandall Sisters. Ka tohaina mai e Hēnare Kīngi he waiata mai i tōna itinga, me tētahi kōrero pukukata mō te paerenga ā-kāinga.
I tēnei pō he nui ngā mahi hāmeme. Aro ki te reo rōreka o Louis Baker me tana whakaaturanga reka o ‘Lovely Day’, te waiata a Bill Withers, ā, ka tau atu te tokowhā ki Ōtaki mā te hekerangi.
Ka tīmata ngā manuhiri me te waiata “Wonderland by Night” a Engelbert Humperdinck, me “Wonderful Tonight” nā Eric Clapton. Pukukata katoa te minenga i ngā mahi pārekareka ā Te Tokowhā.
He waiata ngahau Hainamana e ngākaunuihia ana, tā te Tokowhā i tēnei rā. I tino mīharo katoa te Tokowhā ki te waiatatanga a Bella Kololo i te waiata rongonui, ‘Happy’.
Kua taunga kē a Pio Terei ki te whakaputa mai i tana kutā hai whakangahau i te minenga. Koirā tana mahi me te Tokowhā. He akomanga matua mō te āhua me te oro hira i te paati.
Ka hoki mai anō a Whare Isaac-Sharland me ana tamariki e rua ki te waiata. Pukukata katoa ngā tāne i a Miss Kihi Ririnui, e kī ana kāre a ia e haere ana ki te paati hei kaiwaiata, he ‘kaikawe’ kē a ia.
Ko ngā waiata kapo i te manawa a te pō nei. He taitāhae me te waiata a Frank Sinatra, ‘Fly me to the Moon’, ko Jason Te Patu me tana mihi ki tōna koro me te waiata ‘My Eyes Adored You’. Ka haere tonu ngā mahi pukukata a te Tokowhā ki te tae atu i te wā tika.
Ka tūtaki te Modern Māori Quartet i tētahi tokotoru i whakaora anō i te waiata ‘Sweet Inspiration’ a ngā Yandall Sisters. Ka tohaina mai e Hēnare Kīngi he waiata mai i tōna itinga, me tētahi kōrero pukukata mō te paerenga ā-kāinga.
He hoa rātau, ā, i pakeke tahi ngā Tukorehe tenors i te marae o Kuku. Ka tohaina mai e rātau ngā waiata i ākonahia e rātau i ngā wā whakangahau o tō rātau whanaketanga.
Ka tino whakamātauhia ā-tinana, ā-hinengaro, ngā tāne me ngā wāhine ki te tuku wero ki a rātau anō.
He hōtaka kotahi hāora kī ana i ngā waiata. Ka kawea atu te whakangahau ki tō rūma noho me tō rōpū Māori makau, Te Modern Māori Quartet.
Ko ngā waiata aroha toa rawa atu ka waiatahia e te Tokowhā nei me ā rātau manuhiri, pērā ki ā Solly Hemara e waiata ana mō ngā pikitia hei te pō o te Rāhoroi, tae noa ki ā Ria Hall e hiki ana i te whare me tōna reo kaha.
He pukukata kei te haere ka whakarerekēhia ana e ngā Kuia me ngā Koroua tētahi waiata tawhito, koirā te mahi ā te Whaea Kēkē a Dorothy Brown i tēnei pō.
