MP3 Encoding : [192 Kb/s, Stereo]

'Wha' is a beautiful work from New Zealand music icon, Moana Maniapoto. In the six years since their last album Moana & The Tribe have been capturing the hearts & minds of international audiences and critics with their breathtaking live performances.

Moana paid her way through law school by singing covers in the highly competitive Auckland club circuit. In 1990, Moana & the Moahunters released the feminist anthem "Black Pearl" which shot to No. 2 on the national charts, earning Moana her first gold. Since then, she has released albums 'Tahi', & 'Rua'. 2002 heralded time for a change where by Moana & The Tribe was formed and have since released 'Toru' (which reached No.17 on the European World Music Charts), the DVD 'Live & Proud' and now in 2008, the latest full length album, 'Wha'.

Moana is a recipient of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to music & Maori, a Life Time Recipient of the Toi Iho Maori Made Mark and received the 2005 Te Tohu Mahi Hou a Te Waka Toi Award from Te Waka Toi (Creative N.Z), in recognition of outstanding leadership and contribution to the development of new directions in Maori art and in 2007 was bestowed the honour of being made a New Zealand Art Laureate.

Formed in 2002, Moana & The Tribe have played nearly 150 international concerts, most recently from Kanak villages in the islands of New Caledonia to sell-out concerts in Vladivostok, Russia. Some of their live highlights include playing on the ancient field of Olympia (Greece), on the spiritual idyll that is Rekohu (Chatham Islands); Tollwood Festival (Germany); Etnosur Festival (Spain) and at the Gnesins Music Academy (Moscow).

The exquisite 'Wha' is an extensive collage of contemporary dub, reverential odes to heroes lost, emotive reminders about our past, and sensual love songs. The sounds range from electronic programming through to flugel horn to Taonga Puoro (traditional Maori instruments) and include historical recordings such as that of the 28th Maori Battalion.

It is their first entirely Maori language album and their first foray into collaborations with the classical world including composer Victoria Kelly (Strawpeople, Anika Moa, + Greg Johnson) and members of the New Zealand Trio (one of this country's most acclaimed professional chamber groups).

This blend amplifies the warmth and passion of this accomplished, incredible woman that has connected her with audiences around the world.

WHA contains 10 new songs celebrating love, protesting against free trade, acknowledging the independence struggle of Timor and paying tribute to Maori soldiers buried in foreign lands.

Toru


[ Rajon Music Group / Tangata Records / CD - released 26/Oct/1993 ]
Now re-issued, the third album by Moana (of Moana and The Moahunters) was as much influenced by her visits to the Buddha Bar in Paris, as her continuing love of traditional Maori music.

Rua

Moana and the Moahunters

[ Rajon Music Group / Tangata Records / CD - released 29/Jan/2008 ]
Now re-issued -- the unique sound of Aotearoa, fusing dance music with Maori elements.

http://www.marbecks.co.nz/detail/index.lsd?catalogID=16421

Tahi is the Gold selling debut by Moana And The Moahunters. It reflects the unique sound of Aotearoa, fusing dance music with Maori elements.

This is the re-issue of a "classic" New Zealand album "TAHI" (meaning "One"). "TAHI" was originally released in 1993 and was one of the Top 5 selling albums in that year, achieving gold status. "TAHI" contains 14 tracks, featuring Moana's signature hit and Gold selling single "Black Pearl" (reached No.2 in Top 50 Charts). A total of five singles were released from "TAHI" - including the innovative chart hit "A.E.I.O.U." (re-mixed dance version appeared on Moana's follow-up album "RUA") and "Tahi" (which featured a stunning video by Award-Winning filmmaker, Kerry Brown).

"TAHI" also featured guest vocalists Rev Rasul Muhammad from the Nation of Islam in Detroit, Andrew Fagan of the Mockers (remember them!) and guest video appearances by the Neville Brothers. The fabulous backing singers "The Moahunters" were Mina Ripia (of recent WAI fame) and Teremoana Rapley (solo singer and fronting TV's "Mai Time" Show).

An exciting exploration of sound was the introduction of traditional Maori instruments in some songs which was guided by Hirini Melbourne.
