NZMM Day 12: Prince Tui Teka

Now, this song is old. Very old. But it is absolutely timeless. This song I will always remember my Dad and his brothers singing to my Nana at her birthday up north and I have chosen it especially because it is Mothers Day. So here is the one and only, legendary, Prince Tui Teka singing "Mum".

*I couldn't find a decent video with good sound because it was from 1982! The year I was born!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MUM!

NZMM Day 11: Che Fu

Featuring the beautiful Teremoana Rapley! 

Gosh, this is from 1998! 

NZMM Day 10: Emma Paki

NZMM Day 8 & 9: Salmonella Dub

Purely awesome sounds. Sounds of Aotearoa. 

For some reason I can't upload any of the live vids so just gotta sit back and listen to these sounds.

NZMM Day 7: Maree Sheehan

Golly this is definitely a blast from the past! And I love it all over again! And I hear the Maree Sheehan has recently started making music again! Awesome I say!

Past to the Present

NZMM Day 6: Dam Native

This week I am going back in time! Dam Native, formed in 1992, are the pioneers of hip hop in Aotearoa (NZ), they bought international respect and props to NZ hip hop and music. Focused mainly on issues involving politics and kaupapa Maori.

NZMM Day 5: Aaradhna

NZMM DAY 4: Anika, Boh & Hollie

This trio banded together and toured the countrys churches. I love them individually so together is just magic! I really had hoped to have attended but couldn't afford it in the end. I did however see them in a more casual atmosphere, the Winery Tour! Amazing!

Here is a clip from the Church tour. Beware, it may give you goosebumps and/or bring you to tears!

BATHE IN THE RIVER

Hope you have enjoyed all the posts and have found some new musical flavours. 

Support Kiwi Music and don't download illegally. That is a big rule in our house.

I know I've already posted a clip from this musician but the song is pretty moving and the video is epic. 

It was used in the Rugby World Cup opening ceremony too! So I'm using it for my closing....
