Listen to Queen's iconic hit "Bohemian Rhapsody" as you've never heard it before.
This version is sung in Maori by Hātea Kapa Haka and they're ... just amazing.
The group performed their cover at New Zealand's national kapa haka festival, Te Matatini, a cultural even celebrating the indigenous culture of the Maori people of New Zealand.
The group, who collaborated with internet sensation William Wairua, created the music video as a way to pay tribute to the band's lead singer, Freddie Mercury, and to celebrate the release of the Queen biopic, also titled 'Bohemian Rhapsody'
Hātea Kapa Haka head tutor Pauline Hopa said: "I have always loved the song, Bohemian Rhapsody. But never in my life did I think that we would be part of something this big."
The music arrangement was conducted by David Tāpene, while the lyrics were translated by his daughter Te Amohaere Morehu, Otene Hopa and Raniera Harrison.
