Track 7 from the 1978 album Te reo o Ma-wai-hakona: the voice of Ma-wai-hakona, by Upper Hutt kapa haka group Māwai Hakona, 'Te amokura' is a love song by Tamati Kaiwai.
The amokura is the bosun bird, or tropic bird, which has two extraordinarily long tail feathers, much prized as head ornaments. The women of Māwai Hakona wear the amokura feather in their hair.
