E whakamenomeno ana te whakaputanga nei o Kono 003 i ngā kaiwaiata pēnei i a Anna Coddington rātou ko Ria Hall, ko Katchafire, ko Louis Baker, ko The Nudge, ko Troy Kingi hoki. E hono ana tēnei kohinga waiata ki Waiata Anthems. Mā te whakaputanga nei ēnei waiata o mua e whakaoratia anō i roto i te reo Māori.
The compilation begins with Anna Coddington & Louis Baker performing their collaboration ‘Aho / Beams’ in Te Reo. Originally featured on Coddington’s Taite Music Prize-finalist album Beams, the track represents the first taste of an upcoming Te Reo Māori EP from Coddington. Troy Kingi marks his first appearance with Te Wai Nō Rua Whetū, a new imagining of Aztechknowledgey from the album Shake That Skinny Ass All The Way To Zygertron.
Ka tīmata te kōpae nei ki te waiata, ‘Aho’. He waiata reo Māori tēnei nā Anna Coddington rāua ko Louis Baker. I noho te titonga nei i runga i tā Coddington kōpae Beams, ā, i uruhia hoki i ngā whiringawhāiti o Taite. He kōpae poto reo Māori ka tukuna ā te wā e Coddington. Ko tā Troy Kingi waiata ‘Te Wai Nō Rua Whetū, he whakatinanatanga rerekē o Aztechknowledgey (nō tana kōpae Shake That Skinny Ass All The Way To Zygertron).
One of the strongest voices in NZ music, Ria Hall’s Rangatira / Owner is a new version from her 2020 album Manawa Wera, a release steeped in the sound of Aotearoa roots/reggae music. This track is complimented by Aotearoa legends Katchafire with the Te Reo version of their track Karawhiua / 100. The release finishes with the psychedelic/blues jam He Ōrite, an original reo collaboration from Troy Kingi & Pōneke’s The Nudge.
Ko Ria Hall tētahi o ngā wāhine toa o te hapori puoro o Aotearoa. Ko ‘Rangatira/Owner’ te whakaputanga hōu nō tana kōpae 2020, Manawa Wera. Hono atu ana ki tērā, ko te pēne Katchafire me tētahi ritenga Māori o tā rātou waiata ‘Karawhiua / 100’. Hei whakakapi i te kōpae nei ko ‘He Ōrite’, he waiata mahi tahi nā Troy Kingi rātou ko The Nudge (nō Te Whanganui a Tara) i titoa ‘He Ōrite’ i te reo Māori.
“A basket to carry or to hold” is one of the meanings Kono carries, alongside being the Te Reo Māori translation of Loop. For a third time, this basket is carrying waiata from some of Aotearoa’s finest artists who are dedicated to amplifying Te Reo Māori.
He rourou kai tētahi tikanga o te ingoa o ‘Kono’, whai hoki, ko kono te kupu Māori mō ‘loop’. Mā te rourou nei ngā waiata o ētahi o ngā tino manutīoriori o Aotearoa. He ngākaunui tō rātou ki te whakapāhotia te reo Māori.
Created with the support of APRA, Creative NZ, Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori & Te Māngai Pāho, this compilation celebrates not only the diversity and beauty of Te Reo Māori, but also a range of artists who are helping to push Reo through waiata.
