Kia Ora (hello)Watching from Aotearoa NZ, Stan is a Maori born in Australia but grew up between the 2 countries, he now resides in New Zealand so he can reconnect back to his roots and Maori culture, the hand movement is called the wiri, it represents the life force within us
Kia Ora ... I 'm a New Zealander living in Australia... I really enjoyed your reaction to Stan. His voice is able to stir emotion... He is amazing to experience performing. He also seems to be a beautiful soul. His interviews are and documentaries are also very insightful and funny💖💖💖

Thank you alex i am from new Zealand and i am a maori and to think that somebody from the opposite side of the world is so interested in my culture is amazing!..im not sure where you are from but your accent is so cool!!! Thanks again and may your future be as awesome as you are yourself 👍👍👍
If all the reactions I've watched of I Am I'm really impressed with yours purely for doing your research first and your pronunciation is great. I am a pakeha that grew up surrounded by Te Reo and Maori culture. I live in the same city as Stan.
Hello! Thank you so much for the comment :) l usually try to get some info about the artists l’m gonna react to, l think it’s good to know where they come from to understand their music and Māori culture is so interesting l couldn’t help dig in for more :)
The movie is about the Origins of the cast system still active in India and influenced racism. About an African American women who travels to Germany and India to understand the racism still active in the world and its origins.
Loved your reaction ❤ Stan mentioned in an interview how he grew up watching 'The Avatar' and loved the Airbender Ang. The tattoo is inspired from it but with a more deeper meaning. Stan walker is very intentional with every song and video he creates. It is made with love and respect for our culture but it is also music that empowers and inspires all people. Look forward to more reactions from my fave Nz Artist, much love from Nz
Thank you so much for the comment 🙏🏻 he really seems a nice person from what l saw :) your culture is so fascinating, got me really curious to know more about it
The video for this movie was shot here in NZ in and around his tribal lands and his wife’s. The only shots that are not are those of the Lady she is the lead actor in the movie. I live in the Eastern Bay Of Plenty where Stans people come from.
The Wiri (hand movement) indicates that you live, you have energy, you have spirit. The movement means you are drawing on that spiritual energy of everything around you including Papatuanuku (mother earth).
Hi another Kiwi watching from NZ. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Stan is an exceptional young man and an amazingly talented singer/songwriter. I look forward to your next reaction to Stan.. ❤❤❤
KiaOra, Alex. It is a pleasure to listen to your reaction, one of the most professional I have come across. Especially that you showed the interest and took the time to do some research, which few others have done. Superb. !!
Gave you 'The Rock' vibe, LOL, The Rock spent 18 months living in Auckland as a young man and still has an affinity with New Zealand. The song and video were put together in about 15 days due to the tight turn around required by the movie schedule. It's simply brilliant.
He's humble as they come as many maori are and very family orientated and down to earth and welcoming which is just natural to maori so if you come across one of them just say "Churr my maori! and flick your chin up while you smile 😉..that'll get a reaction out of them either that or a hiding ..Nah just choking.. or am I 😉😂

New Zealand here. This is the land of New Zealand, the Maori culture is New Zealand. We have great respect for Stan down here.
He's humble as they come as many maori are and very family orientated and down to earth and welcoming which is just natural to maori so if you come across one of them just say "Churr my maori! and flick your chin up while you smile 😉..that'll get a reaction out of them either that or a hiding ..Nah just choking.. or am I 😉😂
Kakahu, is what we call clothes, or costumes as you said.
