I had this single on CD in the early to mid-2000s. Moved to America, lost the CD, eventually forgot the band name, song title, and the lyrics I'd learned. I suddenly thought of this song two weeks ago, and after extensive googling I HAVE FOUND IT!
wow! I have literally been looking for this song since 2005! I was in a nightclub in france about 8 years ago and the DJ out of the blue played this song, so I went and asked him the name of the song and he wrote it down for me....I lost the piece of paper that night haha! and this was back before shazam and youtube so not know the name of the song, the band or any lyrics made my search pretty futile...until finally coming across it now as the name of the band came back to me out of nowhere! so glad!!!
That is absolutely amazing that you heard our Maaori song being played in a nightclub way way way over there in France? How amazing is that? What a fabulous story. Thank you for sharing it.
Literally saw a tiktok with this song and thought FUCK I havent heard this is years, probably since I arrived into NZ . Good to see Maori Music getting the recognition it deserves
I had this on single! I worked in NZ in 2000-2001 and I loved this song. Shame it wasn’t commercially released internationally and it’s not on Spotify! 😩
Literally been over 20 years since I’ve heard this jam , Remember one of my maori boys showing me on his IPOD Shuffle 2ND Gen, Whoever produced this was wait ahead of there time, that 2000's type rnb feel !
i loved Aaria, and years later i taught at a school with one of the band members lol#starstruck anyone else remember the pukana episode where they parodied the song/video?
Hikkkkka! I was just about to comment that too 😂😂😂. I'm sure Pukana did a vid for it too, gotta jog the memory now 🤣 I'd love to see the original vid again
I remember hearing this song on my travels in Tunisia 🇹🇳 The club I was in was playing this. The DJ loved the Fresh off the Boat CDS and when he was in New Zealand brought Aaria music back.
Been looking for this song for years!! I first heard it as part of a remix on one of the "fresh off the boat" volumes bout 14 years ago, but it was never on song list on the back of the cd. Today, I just randomly heard it on a Tiktok fishing/kina video and here i am.
What a flashback maaan!!! Been tryna figure out this song for a very long time!!! I remember when it dropped with the video back in the day!!! Mean Maori 💯 2021
Mean maori mean!! He miharo! i tenei roopu Aaria! He tino mohi ahau I te kaupapa o tenei waiata. ataahua hoki. He tino aroha ahau I tenei waiata. Nga mihi nui i tatau-tatau. This group Aaria is Amazing! I know the meaning of this song it's just beautiful I love this song. Thank you for sharing.
