Biography

Of Ngāti Awa and Ngāti Pūkeko descent, Waaka was born on 1 August 1937.[1][2] He grew up at Poroporo, near Whakatāne.[1]

After serving in the air force in the late 1950s, Waaka began his show business career[3] and was a founding member of the Quin Tikis.[4] Moving to Australia, he formed in the Polynesian Trio with his brother and sister-in-law, Nuki and Mahora Waaka, in 1961.[5][6] The trio then joined with Matti Kemp, John Clarke and Hector Epae,[7] forming the Maori Volcanics Showband in 1964.[6] Waaka left the band after a few months following a minor disagreement with Nuki.[4]

Waaka was a member of a number of other show bands, including the Maori Premiers and the New Zealand Impacts Showband, and formed the eponymous Gugi Walker Quartet.[citation needed]

Between 2002 and 2007 Waaka performed at the annual Aotearoa Māori Sports Awards, providing post-awards entertainment.[1]

Following his death from heart problems on 5 July 2014, Waaka's body lay in state at Papakura Marae.[2][3]

Molecule composed of three interlocked rings In chemistry, molecular Borromean rings are an example of a mechanically-interlocked molecular architecture in which three macrocycles are interlocked in such a way that breaking any macrocycle allows the others to dissociate. They are the smallest examples of Borromean rings. The synthesis of molecular Borromean rings was reported in 2004 by the group of J. Fraser Stoddart. The so-called Borromeate is made up of three interpenetrated macrocycles f...
