Six60 Kia Mau Ki Tō Ūkaipō / Don't Forget Your Roots Te Reo Maori

Brilliant sunshine, excited fans, powerful haka, and even rock stars came together to celebrate the visit of four Rugby World Cup All Blacks in Gisborne yesterday. A special guest appearance by New Zealand band Six60 proved equally popular, with news of them being part of the visiting contingent only breaking yesterday morning. Seeing the ABs was the main reason for many. Not Gisborne Girls’ High student Oakley Edmonds. “I’m here for Six60.” she admitted. Lead singer Matiu Walters opened their short performance with a te reo Maori version of their song Don’t Forget Your Roots.It proved a crowd favourite and had young and not-so-young holding their phones in the air to record the special moment. “That was really cool because that was our first time playing that song,” said Walters. The band wanted to “thank everyone for all of their support and wish the boys well in their upcoming trip and acknowledge how far they’ve come to get here”. http://www.gisborneherald.co.nz/video https://www.facebook.com/gisborneherald/videos https://www.youtube.com/gisborneherald Filmed and Edited by Ben Cowper SUBSCRIBE! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=gisborneherald
