Stan, I hope no Korowai were harmed in the making of your videos (which are fire btw) 😂😂😂

A majority of Māori and kiwi alike were brought up listening to Reggae and especially uncle Bob. We have a lot of good Reggae style bands in NZ my man.

Dude he commented on this post my gawd, he watched your review, that is so cool.

@@robynandrews4384I can corroborate! Only seen Stan comment on two other reactions, of the tonnes I've watched.

It is no secret, across the internet, how impressed I Am with not only this song & Stan Walker, but also the deep impact of this masterpiece. My spirit is encouraged and my soul feels satisfied witnessing the deep validation that Stan and the Maori culture is experiencing. Sooo thrilled that Stan and his entire group are making their first trip out here to the mid-Pacific to perform next Saturday, May 4. What a thrilling time to be fully alive!!! I MUA!!! (Ever forward!!!) Interested to see what direction you take this journey next, Luke. You already have the link to the live performance of this song, which has also been groundbreakingly impactful. Bless up, everyone!!

yesss, I'm so happy you got to react and vibe out to this song 🥳 sorry for the novel comment 😂😅 and Stan walker just makes me so proud to be Maori 💪 Also, Bob Marley came to Nz in 1979 and connected instantly with the Maori people here and our culture. No joke at all but a lot of us were raised believing he was our uncle 😂 He has influenced a lot of Nz artists here including Stan. Stan Walker also acts in the 'Mt Zion' movie with that live video footage of Bob Marley's visit. Stan just did an interview last month also with Ziggy Marley in regards to his film 'One Love.' The haka was originally a war dance but over time has evolved to be used for various occasions. This is how we display our History, with pride, unity and strength. ❤ Much love

Awesome reaction bro, if you love reggae you should check out some of the NZ reggae bands as well, LAB, Nesian Mystic, Fat Freddys Drop, just to name a few, there are many and we stand strong in the reggae vibe.

When Marley came here to Aotearoa NZ in 1979, Stan wasn't born but no doubt his parents were at the one n only Western Springs concert ❤️💛💚🔥 along with the tens of thousands of us and our Polynesian whānau (family) .... We had 2 defining protests here with the Māori Land March in 1975 and Bastion Point in 1977 to 78 and Bob was talkin revolution ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 ... and reggae beats are pretty similar to the way we play guitars and sing anyway so it is easy for us to play, there are many great reggae bands here as there are in Te-Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, the Pacific Ocean and Islands ... Stan is just a very humble Paboy doing what comes natural to him with his powerful pipes and his blessed talented whānau, hapū and iwi .... As Māori, we all trace our whakapapa (geneology) back to our mountain, river and lands (those that weren't stolen by colonial forces) and we stand on the shoulders of our illustrious tīpuna (ancestors) and their knowledge passed down through Te Reo Māori me onā tikanga, our cherished language and philosophies .... Our tīpuna fought and died for our future against all odds, the colonisers tried to get rid of us and failed and each generation continues the fight for our #ManaMotuhake, our right to self governance and for #ManaMokopuna, power to our generations to come .... Enjoy 😊 ....he poho kererū mātou ki a Stan me ōna pukenga mīharo rawa atu💓.... We are so proud of Stan, Karawhiua ki te ao e kare ... PS ... The weapons are real, the white patu the woman hold are traditionally made from whale bone, the green patu made from our jade which we call Pounamu and the Taiaha carved from native trees ... They are deadly in the hands of those who know our martial arts, js ....

Stans words " Im unapologetic Maori " I needed thise words as a child but i have them now & embrace them. I am unapologetic Maori ❤❤ thank you Stan for the healing. Thank you for the reaction. ❤

Loved your reaction

Love Stan’s music, very talented.

You are such an awesome human... I've just tapped onto Stan. I love this and your analyses of all of this. You don't skip a beat and your depth of human understanding is such a joy. Also a fellow warrior and weirdo (Aurora fan) so I know we are kindred. 😀

I really enjoy your reactions to Stan.....One of my new Favourite songs...and yes I call him a Legend in his own time💖💖💖

Anything from Stan Walker… I bet you every dollar you’ll never be disappointed but Speechless ❤ Aroha

Ao is pronounced as ow. I have subscribed, liked and loved your reaction. We as Maori love Jamaican music, and intimate it big time. Enjoy your journey with Stan

As you feel the meaning of the words while performing, a lot of emotions begin to rise and you express yourself accordingly. The journey of reclaiming our indigenous power through our traditional artforms of haka, dance, weaponary, language, clothing, housing and environment.

You grooving to this was everything! I was chair grooving right along with you!! 😂 ❤ Love your reactions and love Stan!! (and yes, Stan's tattoos are all real) Also, totally random, but my paternal grandfather was also from St. Elizabeth (paternal grandmother was from St. Anne's) so in my mind, we're cousins now, haha!

Reggae had a massive influence on the music scene in Aotearoa from the 70’s on… We call Bob Marley ‘Uncle Bob’ here.

Reggae was just a sound and music that Polynesian islands and people connected too more then any other genre.. i also think because Jamaica is a island it just related so much to other islands around the world when they heard the reggae sound.

Nz has one of the largest reggae following soutside of the Caribbean islands, the largest and most successful bands in nz, are reggae bands and/or reggae influenced ie Six60, L.A.B, House of Shem, 1814, Katchafire, Fat Freddy's drop,Son's of Zion, Tomorrow People, Corella, Kora, Salmonella Dub, Tike Tane,Herbs, Summer Thieves,The Black Seeds, Trinity Roots. Six60 and L.A.B are probably the most influential and popular, with Six60 regularly selling out 50/60,000 seat stadiums(which had never been done before for local acts)
