If any song from Aotearoa deserves the adjective 'iconic' it must be 'Poi-E'. Dal and the Patea Māori Club's 1983 single is central to our musical story. But how was it seen on release?

In December of that year, Piripi Whaanga wrote about it in the magazine Tu Tangata:

"[Davanius has] chosen to turn the Māori world on its ear by recording the 1983 Polynesian Festival winning poi song ‘Poi E’ with a strong disco accompaniment. That’s the sound of the Pātea Māori Club complete with poi, backed by the driving sound of top session musicians.

"To date it’s selling well around New Zealand despite the rather limited airplay the record is getting, mainly on the Tonight Show [on RNZ’s ZB Network]. The problem is one that all music different from the norm has: it’s unprogrammable. That is, it doesn’t fit in the nice and simple formats that New Zealand radio stations and television have for music.

"For one thing, it’s not in English and for another, it’s not the traditional sound of the poi, what with the loud, brash disco beat ..."

I’ve got 2 shows coming up in October, which are likely to be my last shows this year…. and then I will be taking an undetermined break from music while I deal with an unexpected health issue.

Friday October 25th, for the first time in 15 years I’ll be playing a show back in my hometown… The Raumati Social Club along with incredible local singer/songwriter Joe Simmonds.

Then the following day, I’ll be over the hill in Masterton at The Next Big Thing Wairarapa with my good friends How To Human and a couple of amazing local bands.

Hopefully I’ll see a few of you at a show!

Get Amongst It!
