Whakamāori

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air


Listen Later

Let's kick it old school, each presenter has their own piece, so listen up because Will Smith is the OG one to beat. So, let's see how it sounds in Māori and if our team can bring the heat.

Watch the video version of the episode here.

While the Fresh Prince spent most of his days on the playground, chilling out max, relaxing and shooting some B-ball, the Whakamāori team has spent its days translating this quintessential 90s TV theme song into te reo Māori.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was appointment TV viewing through the early 1990s and most 90s kids could rap the theme song composed by Quincy Jones III, written by Will Smith and performed by Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

Will the te reo Māori version translated by Chey Milne, Ana-Piki Tuari and Anaha Hiini be just as catchy?

Get a printable version of the translations here.
