Te Tairāwhiti Arts Festival’s opening night presents TE KATOA, the latest album from Tama Waipara – composer, performer, artist.For one show only and its long awaited Tūranga launch, as a tribute and thank you to the home that inspired the album, Tama brings it back to where it all began.
Experience the magic of a NZ Music award winner with feature artists Tyna Keelan, Kirsten Te Rito and Raiha Moetara.
The album features collaborations with the likes of Maisey Rika and composers Taharakau Stewart, Teina Moetara, Tweedie Waititi and Petera Hakiwai. Together with Tama’s artistic voice at the fore, it’s an eclectic array of kaupapa based, reo Māori enriched, kainga informed musical sophistication.
An expression of lived experience and inherited narratives; waiata that are formed from exploration of whakapapa and legacy.
A must see event!
