TE AROHANUI CONCERT PARTY SETS NEW STANDARD After its resounding success in Hawaii and the United States, the controversial Te Arohanui Maori Concert Party has returned to New Zealand, played a brief season and disbanded. Here in Wellington it received such a poor notice in the press that the New Zealand Maori Council lodged a spirited protest with one of the papers concerned. It played to houses which were by no means full. Some of my friends (Maori) said that this was not ‘a Maori show’. What is ‘a Maori show’? One where performers saunter on to the stage chewing gum whilst they wait for the guitar to tune up? All too often this is the sort of thing which is foisted on to the paying customers in the guise of Maori entertainment.
