Reo Maori Songhubs 2020 will take place at Waimarama Marae in Hawkes Bay from Monday 16 November to Friday 20 November. Reo Maori SongHubs is a collaborative songwriting wananga, bringing together experts in music creation and waiata reo Maori to further the development of a bi-lingual music industry.
This is an incredible group of talented music creators who are all at different stages of their development with writing waiata in te reo Maori, but they share a passion for learning more, and collaborating in this mahi. We look forward to hearing the waiata they will create together.
The curator of the program is superstar/producer/collaborator Joel Little, while pre-eminent matanga reo/language specialist and songwriter Sir Timoti Karetu is the reo curator. Five other matanga reo/songwriters Jeremy Tatere MacLeod, Leon Te Heketu Blake, Petera Hakiwai,
Te Kuru o te Marama Dewes, and Ruth Smith will guide and assist with the sessions.
"This is an exciting opportunity to support these collaborations for writing new waiata reo Maori, particularly with the guidance of Joel Little and Sir Timoti Karetu", says Hinewehi Mohi, APRA AMCOS NZ's Pitau Whakarewa. "Ka tau ke!"
“SongHubs has always been about collaboration and this kaupapa gives us the opportunity to not only create music together, but to build Aotearoatanga" adds Victoria Kelly, Director of Member Services. "It’s such an honour to bring this extraordinary group of people together in such a beautiful place, knowing that - in two weeks’ time - there will be new waiata Maori in the world, new creative connections made, and incredible knowledge and wairua shared.”

Each day the songwriters and producers will be assigned a different group to write a song with. This group will consist of a producer/engineer, a Maori language consultant/matanga reo, a ‘lead’ songwriter (for whom they are writing a song), and one other songwriter. These groups will each inhabit a separate space for the day, and across the week everyone will have the opportunity to work with different groups.
