Another
song from the Ten Guitars era of the 1950s and 1960s. Young Maori workers
had moved from close-knit rural villages to the cultural melting pot
of industrial housing estates. They lost many of their traditional Maori-language
songs but retained their sense of community with weekend parties.

We'll
have hangi for our kai
We'll
gather all the whanau

We'll
have food steamed in an earth oven
We'll
gather all those who are related to us by birth |
