Stan Walker is Māori, the indigenous people's of Aotearoa (New Zealand). Māori are the cousins of us Islanders from the South Pacific. A lot of us Pacific Islanders have made home in Uncle and Aunty's land, Aotearoa (New Zealand). We proud of our Māori cousins ✊

I feel like his voice gets stronger when he sings in te reo 💖

Singing in English: cute and measured Singing in Maori: draws from his ancestors and power and mana flow from the vocals lol

Stan Walker is Māori. We’re the indigenous culture all the way from Aotearoa (New Zealand) 🇳🇿 Thank you soooo much for your reaction, please react to more Stan Walker! Love & Light to you & your whanau (family)!! ❤️🖤🤍

Ohhh, Damn, That’s BEAUUUTIFUL, Stan WALKER n CLAN!!! YOU are FANTASTIC n we love ❤️ you ALL 💕💕💝💝👍👍

This reaction is the reason why I followed you. Having someone appreciate the sound of music and grasping our maori and Pacific heritage is epic. Your reaction is a sign that our music and culture is not only reaching people throughout nz but also worldwide so thank you. Stay blessed.

I see the “wiri” (quivering hands) going on ❤️ … we do that here to express our energy A lot especially when performing our culture.. I love how he touches the wairua and then someone like you shares your moment in that moment 😁… much ❤️❤️❤️🌹❤️

It's the wiri on ringa for me 😂😂🤣🤣

He has such a beautiful voice & when he sings in his native language it sounds so amazing. His vocals are so smooth & just melt through you. I love Māoris they’re beautiful 😊

New Zealand is extremely proud of this talented young man. He has also battled cancer and there is a documentary here on KZfaq I think which explains this. Other videos you might be interested in are his original Australian Idol audition from when he was 18 and his cover of Ultralight Beam. It's incredible. His voice is like silk and when he sings in te reo Maori, it just brings tears to my eyes and makes me incredibly proud to be from Aotearoa New Zealand. This beautiful song was originally a Crowded House song, a Kiwi group.

Boy are you in trouble now, all the kiwi's will be flocking to your channel, like bees to honey or as the cuzzie's (Maori's - NZ native people) would say 'like flies on tutae (pronounced - 2 Tie)' which is the Maori word for that word you used when you had that mental block?😅😂🤣 Nice reaction, anything from Stan Walker Live with the Levites will leave you in awe of this man's vocal talent. Your about to be inundated with requests for a total immersion into NZ Music Culture. Some suggestions for Stan and the Levites are - He Kakano Ahau, Bigger (or Tua the Maori version), Ultralight Beam, Newlight, Inside Out, Amazing Grace.. should be enough to get you started.

the original was from New Zealand/Australian band Crowded House back in 1986, this cover was pretty cool

I’m Samoan. Stan is Māori. We are Polynesian. We bros.

You 👈 are amazing, thank you for that. I love your reaction, so true to your soul, a beautiful soul indeed. Yes, Stan Walker is just amazing and sings straight from his heart which makes his performance almighty... But your reaction reflects who you are, and you are beautiful. 😇

Was asked by a relative to check out your reaction to our boy Stan Walker from New Zealand, and I am pleased you enjoyed him and the Levites. They are awesome and do us proud. Thank you.💖 Blessings from NZ.( Aotearoa). Have subscribed.

Jaybee! My jaw dropped as you let the spirit move you and broke out the wiri wiri (the fast hand shake - like the movement of bird wings - which we use in our dancing and singing). Totally appropriate and made me think maybe you were Tangata Whenua (Maaori People of the Land) in a past life! Ataahua (beautiful) bro. Arohanui (much love), Kiri x

All these covers Stan & the Levites smash these covers amazingly better then the original versions👏👏👏🙏

We loving your reaction, We love Stan Walker hes our Maori boy from Ruatoria NZ and The Levites our polynesiam sisters and brothers we follow in flocks. Looks like will be following them to your channel🙌✌️❤️🔥😘

Wow! This Guy can sing, and the bits I didn't understand were actually amazing also, nice harmonizing with the band.

First of all I love their version, this is actually a Crowded House (New Zealand band) song. Love hearing different versions of different artists.

I like it when people that aren't or from NZ react to Stan Walker

React to Stan Walker Ultralight Beam singing Kanye West song.

Stan Walker- Utra Light Beam his version will bring you to tears 😭

Stan the Man ❤❤❤❤❤❤

That was emotional 😭😭😭😭moving very spiritual 💕💕💕I could listen to this all day God bless you Newland and the people 🙏 what a blessing am in tears myself just watching this wooow 😭😭😭😭😭💕

Heavenly. no other words

Stan Walker is Māori. Indigenous people of New Zealand, Māori are of polynesian descent. So your not wrong.

You will love the vocals on his cover of Amazing Grace and the live version of New Light. One amazing vocalist.

He tanetoa! His vocals were awesome before his operation to remove stomach for cancer, now his voice direct from the Creator 🙏👍

Love your expressive reactions, really feeling it all

i love your reactions youre so genuine and passionate especially on stans singing amazing grace...

Beautiful

I love your smile🥰your reactions to our boy Stan is gorgeous. Stay blessed xx

Stan Walker is amazing. Love your reaction. Have you watched anything about his life, you will be shocked.

It’s interesting to see people do wiri (I hope that’s the right word for it, and I’m using it in the correct way) even when it hasn’t been shown in the video. It’s like the Māori language brings something out in people, and it’s so beautiful!

Yes they are all Polynesian Stan Walker is the main singer he's Maori and the lady back up singer is also Maori and the other 2 men are Samoan all from New Zealand..

Watch them sing amazing grace

Love your vibe. Stan and the Levites are soooo beautiful to listen to. Glad you love our culture. 🥰🥰👍🏽👍🏽 Subscribed

All Kiwi bud, all Kiwi - awesome & beautiful.

Jaybee doing a not so traditional wiri a few seconds after Stan and the Levites singing in Te reo 😌

I LOVE your natural reaction to this song. And you probably didn't realise this, but at 3:16 Stan Walker sings a line in Māori about 'catching rain in the palms of your hands'. And at that very moment, your hand was moving the way that a Māori performer may have demonstrated that particular meaning.

Kia ora from NZ. Loving the reaction vidz😁

I hope Stan watches your videos what a beautiful, Authentic Reaction. From NZ.

I love your reactions, you feel so deeply it’s beautiful

Amazing reaction, another video to check out, Amazing Grace with the Levites and I Surrender ( Live performance) is another great song
