Waiata

Four32 are a group of rangatahi Māori who have released their first single 'Going Home'. They hope to appeal to various age groups and take you on a journey with the feeling of returning home to grass roots Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Wellington-based musician and writer Ariana Tikao's waiata ‘Fly You Home’ explores friendship across distance and indigenous solidarity.

'Ngā Reo' by IA featuring National Poetry Slam Winner Te Kahu Rolleston. This waiata shines a spotlight on traditional taonga pūoro and te reo Māori, both lyrically and musically.

Aro, proudly brought together, for this very special video, their family and friends - coming together to emphasise the importance of maintaining relationships and respect for people even if we don't agree with them.

Using te reo Māori, modern hip-hop production, powerful 808 bass and hard-hitting drums, Byllie-jean and AJA share their collaborative work 'Te Iho' - meaning 'the essence'

Callan James, an up and coming takatāpui Māori music artist wrote this song celebrating all the front line workers who worked tirelessly through the Aotearoa Alert Level 4 lockdowns and connecting with each other.

Tukua Te Kūata by Huia was written in the midst of the COVID-19 rāhui. This song was a free flow of thoughts. Life is too short to hold back your love.

‘Kapakapa’ feat. Kings is a fluid union of Te Reo Māori and English language vocals, modern hip-hop / beats and vintage synthesiser soul

MOHI (Ngāpuhi, Te Rarawa, Ngāi Te Rangi, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Te Wairoa) released his second single 'Te Aroha Mauroa' from his EP 'Moments'.

'Taera’ as the first release from Preservation of Scenery deliberately showcases Rob Ruha's mother tongue first and foremost, a tribute to his commitment to Te Reo Māori.
