Inia Te Wiata Here on a Visit Inia Te Wiata, the famous Maori singer from Otaki who lives in London, has just finished a tour of New Zealand, his first trip home since 1958. Since his last tour he has played the leading role on Broadway and in London in the musical ‘The Most Happy Fella’, has been on a concert tour of Russia and, more recently has been engaged at Pinewood Studios in filming Walt Disney's ‘The Castaways’. Some of the scenes in this film are supposedly set in New Zealand, and Inia plays the part of a Maori chief. The film, which has very lavish and expensive sets, will probably reach New Zealand early next year. While he was here, Inia was looking into the possibility of buying land for the time when he and his wife eventually retire to New Zealand. The land, ‘no lower than Tauranga and no higher than Auckland’, will be for the fishing lodge they plan to build one day.
