Harnessing the spirit of our atua, "PAPATUĀNUKU" takes us on a profound musical hīkoi. Orchestrated by the skilled hands of Chris Faiumu from Fat Freddy's Drop, this waiata brings the wisdom of our tīpuna into the contemporary world, echoing a potent call for environmental kaitiakitanga. Te Māngai Pāho stands firmly behind it, giving life to a tune that is not only a melody but also a rousing kaupapa connecting the past, present, and future. Central to this sonic journey is our rising whetū, Reiki Ruawai. His stirring vocals marry the emotive power of R&B, dance, and soul, creating a captivating resonance. With "PAPATUĀNUKU," Ruawai paints a soundscape that leaves a lasting impression, crafting not just a song, but a compelling narrative of our connection to Papatūānuku, resonating deep within our wairua.
