E Ipo

"E Ipo" is a 1982 song written by Prince Tui Teka and Ngoi Pēwhairangi[1] in tribute to Teka's wife Missy.

The song was based on a popular Indonesian melody that Teka had listened to while performing overseas.[2]

The video for the song was taken from a TV special filmed at the Mandalay nightclub in Newmarket, Auckland. The song later made the Nature's Best 3 compilation, a collection of the top 100 New Zealand songs as voted by members of APRA.
