Riqi says..“We may be at the bottom of the world but we are first to see the sunrise and we have never needed anyone’s permission to strive and achieve our hearts desires whether at home or abroad. Our achievements worldwide are unique and amazing; From Sir Edmund Hillary tackling Mount Everest, our mighty All Blacks, the rugby world cup, the America’s Cup, the around the world yacht race, The Maori Battalion, the Britten motorcycle, to winning 15 medals at the 2012 Olympics.
For such a small country we are BLAZING, SO AMAZING..

My remix for Bad Snacks. Have a Kit Kat :)

Bad Snacks - Lucky(Paul Helsby's Hacienda Nights Remix)

апачев  - уходим на войну - русская музыка сво 

--
Дан приказ:
Ему - на запад
Ей - в другую сторону́
Уходили добровольцы
На Гражданскую войну
Уходили, расставались
Покидая тихий край
«Ты мне что-нибудь, родная
На прощанье пожелай...»

И родная отвечала:
«Я желаю всей душой -
Если смерти, то мгновенной
Если раны - небольшой
А всего сильней желаю
Я тебе, товарищ мой
Чтоб со скорою победой
Возвратился ты домой»

Он пожал подруге руку
Глянул в девичье лицо
«А ещё, тебя прошу я:
Напиши мне письмецо»
«Ну куда же напишу я?
Как я твой узнаю путь?»
«Всё равно, - сказал он тихо -
Напиши... куда-нибудь!»

Слова
Колонны шли от Брянска и Ростова
Ракетчики высматривали цель.
В глухом селе с распятия Христова
Летела на пол красная капель.

Взял карандаш, провёл стрелу на карте
Стрела была упряма и красна
Пошли полки, так по молитвам, в марте
Вновь начиналась Русская весна

В кошмарах войн грядёт Мессия
Возврата нет. Твой жребий брошен.
Хрипит и горбится Россия,
Клонясь под непосильной ношей.

В моих руках отбойный молоток
Его калибр назвать я не берусь
Я отбиваю за куском кусок
От глыбы навалившейся на Русь

Крошили пулемёты вкривь и вкось
Горел КамАЗ на поле боя брошен
И распрямляла Русь земную ось
Сама кренясь под непосильной ношей

Хрустел Урал, дрожала Волги жила,
Рвалась границы призрачная лента,
То распрямлялась русская пружина
Скрипящие сдвигая континенты

In homage to Bowie's enduring legacy, I'm thrilled to unveil a cover of "Let's Dance". Bowie was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. He collaborated with Nile Rogers to produce "Let's Dance". When the song came out in 1984, my whanau and I loved it. It had a great riff, and we were captivated by the guitar playing courtesy of Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Beneath its pulsating beats lies a poignant commentary on the plight of First Nation Australians, a narrative often overlooked. Symbolised by the imagery of red shoes, Bowie's exploration of injustice resonates deeply, echoing the voices of those marginalised by systemic racism. His quest for authenticity led him to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Dance Theatre in Sydney, where he discovered the raw talent of Terry Roberts and Joelene King, igniting a powerful collaboration that transcended boundaries.

"When I first heard "Let's Dance," it had a profound impact on me both spiritually and emotionally. The song's message about the shared struggles and resilience of the first nations people of Australia deeply resonated with me. I started learning how to play the guitar when I was around 13 years old; now, I am grateful to be able to perform this song today; it brings me much joy."

This song highlights how the First Nations people of Australia have been impacted by racism and how they continue to face the consequences of racist government policies and community attitudes. It's a powerful message that deserves to be heard, and I feel honoured to be able to share it.

My approach to life has been shaped by both Indigenous and Western cultures. I choose to embrace both cultures and combine their values and practices to become a more compassionate, racially tolerant, and understanding person. I believe that by blending Western ideals and tools with Indigenous hearts and values, we can create a more harmonious society where all races can collaborate and break down walls between us. It's not just about birthright but a conscious decision to respect and learn from both cultures.

Dancers: Abigail Delaney and Dubs Yunupingu from Jannawi Dance Clan performed at the 2019 Dance Rites event at Bennelong Point, which was originally known as Tubowgule by its traditional owners. To celebrate the event, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags were raised at the venue. This video was made possible thanks to the support of the Sydney Opera House in Australia.

The Aboriginal flag: was designed by Harold Thomas, a member of the Laritja tribe. The flag was recently transferred to public ownership, allowing Indigenous groups and sports organisations to use it freely. After 50 years since its first flying, the Australian government has agreed to a historic $20 million deal with its creator, Harold Thomas. This taxpayer-funded settlement will allow Indigenous communities to use the flag in any medium without having to seek permission or pay a fee. The agreement marks the end of years of controversy surrounding the flag's use, and is a significant step towards acknowledging and respecting Indigenous cultures in Australia.

‘
Rongoa for the
rohe, Rongoa for the people

had marked Te Mata Peak and it looked like the maunga was crying, I felt a calling to put pen to paper
and use my skills to unite people for a common cause. I just couldn
’
t sit around
and do nothing. So, I
wrote a song with a hopeful narrative that will bring people from Hawkes Bay together and
as a
