What does it take to be a Māori composer and musician today? If you grew up immersed in your Māoritanga, or due to the circumstances of your whānau, your take on being Māori it’s still a journey of reclamation and discovery - why have melodies, rhythms and lyrics become your self-expression - and what is it about the industry of music, notoriously filled with persistent challenges - how do you overcome to rise and perform your own waiata.
Find out with host Alana Broughton and wha four Māori artists from across the spectrum of music: Rei, Mere Boynton, Ria Hall and Pere Wihongi, for a meaningful kōrero about identity, the need for resilience and what keeps them creating.
