This episode honours Moana Maniapoto and Tariana Turia.
We play three tracks, two from Rima (2014) and one from Ono (2024).
The Ono CD is a significant change of style for Moana, a blend of indigenous Maori waiata for words and electronica dub for music. We play the final track on this CD, titled "Maiea" ("Courage") which includes a Scottish singer. Six women from global indigenous societies are sampled in the mix. Completing this project must have taken hours and hours from Moana.
