Last night, the newest Australian Idol was crowned: Kiwi singer Stan Walker. I've never been one to follow American Idol, but I did get sucked into the competition here. And, I am literally obsessed with his single "Black Box." Its definitely pop but its very catchy. Enjoy!
The thing I think is really cool about Stan is that he is Maori, which are New Zealand's native people of Polynesian descent. I haven't learned a ton about the Maori culture since being here, but it's always highlighted heavily in all my guidebooks and the travels of people I've met. So, I'm rather excited to learn more about that once we head over to Kiwi-land.
"Black Box" is probably a far cry from traditional Maori singing, but I guess I'll just have to content myself with it for now!
