Label	WEA/Jayrem Records

Poi E is an album released by New Zealand Māori culture group the Patea Maori Club in 1982.

Dalvanius Prime, the album's producer and leader, was known for merging the styles of traditional Maori show bands and more recent Maori hip-hop. In the early 1990s, "Poi E" was produced as a Maori musical with additional songs, and in 2000, selections were performed in Sydney, at Waitangi Day Concert, which celebrates the treaty signing by Maori chiefs and the British colonial government in 1840^[1]. The original "Poi E" music video, which features the Patea Maori Club can be seen here [1].

LYRICS: Poi E

Poi-E

E rere ra e taku poi porotiti

Titahataha ra, whakararuraru e

Porotakataka ra, poro hurihuri mai

Rite tonu ki te tiwaiwaka e

Ka parepare ra, pioioi a

Whakahekeheke, e kia korikori e

Piki whakarunga ra, ma muinga mai a

Taku poi porotiti, taku poi e!

Poi E, whakatata mai

Poi E, kaua he rereke

Poi E, kia piri mai ki au

Poi E, e awhi mai ra

Poi E, tapekatia mai.

Poi E, o taua aroha -

- Poi E - paiheretia ra.

POI... TAKU POI, E!
