Daphne Walker (1930–2025) Daphne Walker was one of Aotearoa’s most beloved voices of the 1950s and 60s. Born on Great Barrier Island, she rose to fame in 1949 singing live on radio with Bill Wolfgramm’s Hawaiian String Band. Her hits Haere Mai, Māori Brown Eyes, When My Wahine Does the Poi and Aroha became classics, showcasing her soft, clear vibrato and effortless style. Though she preferred the studio to the stage, Walker recorded over 30 sides and several albums with leading musicians such as Bill Wolfgramm, Bill Sevesi, and George Tumahai. She later turned to Māori songs before retiring from music in the mid-60s. Daphne Walker passed away in 2025 at the age of 94, leaving behind a timeless legacy in New Zealand music. #newzealandmusic #pacificmusic
