Maimoatia
Maimoa , Music Video – 2016
It just goes to show that you can record a song with a catchy tune and all be in te reo Māori and it can still do great things, it doesn't have to be in English and it doesn't have to be sung by Beyonce.– Pūkana producer Marama Gardiner in an interview with Radio New Zealand, 11 July 2016
Even if the language is grammatically wrong or right, I perhaps have made some grammatical errors in this very interview. So (this song) is about speaking the language no matter what.– Singer and co-composer Makaira Berry (Ngāti Porou, Ngāi Tūhoe) in an interview with Te Ao Māori News, 7 July 2016
