Taku Whenua is the third single the band has launched and the first of many Te Reo waiata, as it signifies Chur Da Boys and their commitment to our indigenous language. This release follows their previous chart topping single Anthem hitting no# 12 on the New Zealand Hot Single Charts. In addition to the Te Reo version, Chur Da Boys are excited to announce the simultaneous release of an English version titled My Whenua. The bilingual approach aims to bridge cultures, enabling a wider audience to appreciate the beauty and significance of the lyrics while honouring the depth of the Māori language.
In a statement the group expressed their enthusiasm about the release stating “Taku Whenua is a labour of love for us. Its a way of paying homage to the land that has given us so much. We wanted to create something that resonates with the hearts of tangata whenua and people around the world, fostering a sense of pride and connection to Aotearoa”.
Chur Da Boys invite music enthusiasts, cultural enthusiasts and everyone in between to immerse themselves in the melodies and powerful lyrics of Taku Whenua and My Whenua. These singles are not just songs; they are a celebration of identity, culture and the beauty of New Zealand.
Both songs are available for streaming and download on all major platforms.
