MAORI *SONGBOOK
Rikihana's Songbook
Main Song List - Maori Song List - Home




Toby Rikihana, assisted by George Parekowhai, compiled these recordings and song books for primary and secondary teachers. During the 1960s, 70s and 80s they recorded and transcribed 276 songs, then translated the Maori lyrics into English.

Because of the popularity of some songs, different versions were sung, and the writers sometimes had difficulty in deciding which versions should be included in the book. Sometimes the original was selected with one or two alternative words or lines included at the end of the waiata, at other times later versions were selected because of changes that the general public tended to favour.

Most of the songs were typed out on a manual typewriter in pre-computer days and then photocopied and ringbound. There are also some pages photocopied from other books. and Matua Toby has never had time to re-format it. Consequently the songs, and the table of contents are in the sequence that were collected, not in alphabetical order, so I have put one at the bottom of this webpage. ALPHABETICAL INDEX

The recordings were originally sold as cassettes, but at the beginning of 2011, they were transferred to CDs.

If you are overseas, I guess you could e-mail an enquiry, and then phone, fax or post your credit card number.

I received this e-mail from Jenny Howitt at Kohia in mid-2003.

Kohia Teachers Centre has been selling these items for a very long time. Toby and George Parakowhai gifted the resources to Kohia about five years ago which is about when I started at Kohia. The books and tapes have not been updated in the time I have been at Kohia. I believe Toby talked of updating but our masters remain the same.

Regarding payment. Kohia can take credit card sales over the phone, postage added
Please feel free to phone if you need further information.
