 A performance includes storytelling and singing in conjunction with choreographed poi routines and is often presented alongside other disciplines, such as "waiata a ringa", haka and "titi torea" (included in kapa haka performances).Poi feature in the 1980s hit song "Poi E".Originally, poi were most commonly made from harakeke (New Zealand flax, "Phormium tenax") and raupō ("Typha orientalis").
