Kōwhai: Kōrero Mai - A Bilingual EP for Young Tamariki

Made with the support of NZ on Air Music, we joined forces with Kiwi Icon, Suzy Cato, and with Levity Beet at the music production helm, we collectively created four upbeat, super fun waiata that young tamariki can sing along to, that helps them to learn more about our beautiful te reo Māori/Māori language.
