Patea Maori Club: Poi E 2 cd 25th Anniversary Edition

The multi-Platinum selling Patea Maori Club first burst into our living rooms with the smash hit Poi E in 1983. In the following years Patea Maori continued to successfully release 7" singles and 12" EPs both in NZ and internationally -none of these singles or EPs have ever been available on CD until now.

This special 25th Anniversary Edition comprises two CDs -the original Poi E CD plus an 11 track bonus cd with 12" mixes and live tracks.
All tracks have been remastered from the original quarter inch master tapes.

This is an outstanding compilation of Patea Maori Club's best recordings. It includes their 1984 Number One Hit "Poi-E" (which is a traditional Maori vocal arrangement coupled with a tight funky rhythm), Number 10 Hit "Aku Raukura" and many more.
It was on the strength of this music that Patea Maori Club performed at The London Palladium, the Edinburgh Festival and a Royal Command Performance.

The multi-platinum selling album continues to be as popular today as it was when originally released in 1984 due to its seamless combination of "contemporary" and kapa haka (New Zealand Maori) music styles.
Songs written by Dalvanius and Ngoi Pewhairangi, recordings feature members of Herbs,Ardijah etc
