What style of music is this/ who performs it/ what inspired them to write it?
I would say that this is like pop music just in Te reo. They write the song so everyone knows that it connects with everyone. Maimoa is a group of Maori descent who sings a song and write them together.
What did you like about the music?
Personally, I like the song because it sang a te reo. I think most people like it because of how catchy the song is.
What did you like about the video?
I like how the video was plain and then they added colour I like how they looked like they were having fun.
