Rocked the Nation - Pōkarekare Ana performed by Wing
Television (Excerpts) – 2008
Hosted by Karyn Hay, C4 series Rocked the Nation charted 100 key moments in New Zealand music. This excerpt offers a bite-sized appearance from the singing phenomena that was Wing. Although she didn’t make the series’ Top 100, Wing was invited to cover Kiwi classic 'Pōkarekare Ana'. Hong Kong-born Wing Han Tsang began performing in Auckland rest homes, and won global notice for her unconventional vocal style. Alongside a prolific recording schedule, she appeared on SportsCafe and cult cartoon series South Park before retiring from music in 2015.
This next artist just fell outside of our Top 100 with her appearance on South Park. Here's an exclusive for Rocked the Nation: Wing, with 'Pōkarekare Ana'.– Host Karyn Hay introduces Wing
