The Latest From Moana...
NEW GIG (17 Apr)
Having a bit of an experiment on May 4th at the Regent Theatre (Palmerston North) where Paddy and Cadzow will join me for a 20 minute set to celebrate MayDay - Workers Rights. I think I am also playing 'Simon Cowell' - as a judge in a wee talent quest too. Should be fun. So if you are in Palmerston North, save the date and join us - kaupapa-driven to the max...
Mangere Magic (7 Apr)
We had a wonderful day yesterday performing at a special event in Mangere hosted by NUMA (National Urban Maori Association) to celebrate the impact that Whanau Ora is having within grass roots Maori communities the organisations lock into. Plenty of music from local hip hop starts Dei Hamo, Young Syd etc. Wonderful audience and just a great feel-good-to-be-Maori event.
WOMAD (14 Mar)
Tomorrow, I'm heading to WOMAD, purely as a spectator - and quite happy about that. I'm going to watch Salif Keita, Fly my Pretties, Goran Bregovic Wedding and Funeral Band and Mari Boine. Really looking forward to it.
Pasifika and Sounds Aotearoa (10 Mar)
Today we strutted our stuff on two stages - Pasifika, the biggest Polynesian festival in the world - and onstage at Sounds Aotearoa as part of an indigenous showcase. Had so much fun - especially with 4 new performers in the band. It was high energy, high notes and loads of laughs.
Te Matatini (21 Feb)
AND in between launching Maori FutureMakers and rehearsing the band for Pasifika and Sounds, I will be one of the MCs at Te Matatini - THE event on the Maori calendar. Think 'World Cup' of HAKA - excitement, adrenalin, girl power, feathers flying. See you on Friday morning and Sunday morning.
