He Manu Tīoriori Verified listing

For the past seven years the Waiata Anthems project, initiated by Dame Hinewehi Mohi and developed through her work at APRA NZ, has been a platform for waiata reo Māori to flourish. Initially a project for translation of existing songs into te reo Māori, the focus is now on fresh and original compositions with artists supported by Māori language consultants to craft waiata that carry depth, metaphor and beauty.

Featuring the soulful sounds of Jordyn with a Why, the dulcet tones of MOHI and the silky smoothness of Muroki, He Manu Tīoriori will send the voices of the future to resonate throughout the city and the Festival, while the rhythms and language of tomorrow will get you out of your seat, on your feet and moving to the beat.
