Aotearoa
Stan Walker , featuring Ria Hall , Troy Kingi and Maisey Rika , Music Video – 2014
Launched for 2014's Māori Language Week, the NZ Music Award-nominated video for 'Aotearoa' is a showcase of Kiwi scenery and musical talent, led by main vocalist Stan Walker. 'Aotearoa' began when TV producer Mātai Smith, aware 1983’s 'Poi-E' was the last te reo song to hit number one, felt it would be nice to repeat the feat (in the end he had to settle for number two). Walker wrote the track with producer Vince Harder, and performs it with his Mt Zion co-star Troy Kingi, plus Ria Hall and Maisey Rika. Hall called the result "a song to celebrate our nation, our landscape, our uniqueness, our language and our people".
