Band & Musician News - Te Māngai Pāho & APRA AMCOS Announce New Album of Tairāwhiti Kapa Haka Originals
15 July 2024 - 0 Comments
Te Ai o Te Rā - This album celebrates the rich cultural heritage of Te Tairāwhiti and their unique ‘coastie’ style, while also paying homage to the trailblazers of composition from the region. The album was led by haka matriarchs Kuini Moehau Reedy and Tangiwai Ria.
In 2023 the first Kapa Haka SongHubs was held in Tūranganui-a-Kiwa, Gisborne with the purpose of encouraging kapa haka composers across Aotearoa to compose new anthems for their regions.
Te Tairāwhiti were the first region to test this new kaupapa - and what a success it was. At the end of the wānanga, eight new waiata were composed by the region.
Earlier this year the participants gathered to record this album of kapa haka originals - the first release of its kind.
Te Ai o Te Rā is set for release on July 25. Pre-Save Here
