Moana & the Tribe feat. Inka Mbing(Taiwan). TŌKU REO
Inka Mbing is the stunning guest vocalist on Tōku Reo. From the Atayal tribe, one of 16 indigenous tribe in Taiwan, Inka defied the taboo on women not singing traditional songs. Now she is celebrated for helping keep the language alive. Moana Maniapoto and producer Paddy Free visited Inka and started a conversation with her about the loss of language and its revitalisation in Aotearoa/New Zealand. As with Māori, Inka's people were punished for speaking their native language in school. They recorded the song Tōku Reo (with lyrics by Scotty Morrison) in Atayal and Maori, both of which belong to the Austronesian language family. Tōku Reo pays tribute to the language and is released worldwide 18 September, 2020.
Toku reo, toku ohooho
My Language, my awakening
Tohu reo, toku oho kaikakau
My Language, my strength
Mai e te tipua, mai e te tawhito, mai e te kahui o nga ariki,
In the beginning, before there was Light, under the cloak of the gods
Mai e tawhiri atu ki ngā atua i te ora kua hanga mai o te ao i te putaketanga nei o tatou reo
From that ancient time when the ancestors and gods created a means to speak to each other,
Out of the darkness and their chatter in the Void, came…
Reo Waiti, Reo Waita
This Language of Sweetness,this Language of Eloquence
Reo i wehi mai e nga matua ko Ranginui e tu nei
This Language used by sacred forces to plot and plan the separation of Rangi Sky Father
‘Tōku Reo’ is the second single to be released from the forthcoming album from Moana & the Tribe, Ono.

Lovely lyrics and music, love the visuals and super edit.. Memories of the "Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale", one of the best movies I ever did see
Beutiful! Lovely tune and very interesting video edit! Looking forward to hear more!!
🙏 Really beautiful. My first images were of Peru, where I lived for 10 years, the ancestral intertwining of ancient cultures.
Warriors is a great movie and also on that spectrum for me. Many thanks!
stunning
