This poster advertises a performance by the Arawa Maori Entertainers, a professional Rotorua concert party, some time between 1924 and 1930. The group was formed by the celebrated Whakarewarewa tourist guide Rangitīaria Dennan of Ngāti Tarāwhai, who was famous as Guide Rangi. Other members included Ana Hato (Ngāti Whakaue, Tūhourangi), who in 1927 sang on the first commercial sound recording made in New Zealand.
