08 June 2022 - 0 Comments
We're thrilled to share the third episode of UTR presents Trash Recital Season 2 — starring Te Kaahu, produced by Sports Team and made with support from NZ On Air!
Watch Te Kaahu perform Rangirara | Trash Recital Season 2 Episode 3 HERE
For each episode of Trash Recital we've invited some of our favourite Aotearoa artists into the UTR studios to perform one of their signature songs, re-created using everyday items selected from Sports Team's stockpile of recycled junk. Trash Recital not only provides a launchpad for stunning reimaginings of recent classic tunes, but also the perfect opportunity for a chinwag with our local musical heroes.
Our latest episode stars Te Kaahu, the reo Māori project of Theia (Waikato-Tainui, Ngāti Tīpa), performing a stunning new version of her waiata Rangirara with live bandmates Jol Mulholland and Amy Boroevich (Te Rarawa, Ngāti Raukawa), aka Hina. Named after her grandmother and meaning "beyond the heavens,"
Rangirara features on Te Kaahu's new debut album Te Kaahu O Rangi, which will be performed in its entirety at Tāmaki Makaurau's The Tuning Fork on 24th June for Aotearoa’s first official Matariki public holiday, with special guests Mohi and Hina. Theia chatted about the kaupapa of her new project while reimagining 'Rangirara' using objects grabbed from our famous wall of trash, including a plastic hōiho (horse) plus a taonga pūoro (traditional Māori musical instrument) she brought along especially for the show.
