Waiata Tira is a traditional Māori choral singing style from New Zealand. It involves groups of singers performing songs that often celebrate cultural heritage, history, and community values. The songs are typically sung in the Māori language and can be accompanied by actions or movements that enhance the storytelling aspect. This form of singing is commonly used in various settings, including schools, cultural events, and community gatherings. Waiata Tira fosters a sense of unity and belonging among participants, allowing them to express their identity and connection to their ancestry through music and collective performance.
