In this short programme made for Māori and Pacific Islanders, onetime Ngā Tamatoa activist Taura Eruera is interviewed about his new venture: a music school in Auckland. Samoan-Kiwi presenter Ramona Papali'i (Pacific Viewpoint) talks to Eruera about his School of Creative Musicianship. Eruera is looking for a good attitude in prospective students, and he invites interested people to call his home phone number, which he gives out on national television. See Here ran for six years before it was replaced by Tagata Pasifika.
They wanted someone who had a degree, could speak fluent Samoan and could drive. I had none of these things but I bull******d my way through. Anyway, they needed people like me to give them black credibility.– Ramona Papali'i, on joining earlier show Pacific Viewpoint in the late 1970s, Broadsheet, October 1985, page 14
