TE TUMU
Ka whakaputa mai au i Te Kore
From the Void I emerge
Ancient resonance, future sound.
Spacious earth rhythms and soaring winds grounded in organic elemental bass created live with taonga púoro and loops.
Experimental indigenous trance dance.

Internationally renowned Māori anthropologist, taonga pūoro musician, and award-winning composer, Rob Thorne (Ngāti Tumutumu, Tainui) has been at the forefront of the revival and renaissance of traditional Māori instruments for over 25 years.

WAIWHAI
will be offering a solo-performance comprised of taonga puoro + electronic taonga, building worlds and dismantling them again, wading between the shadows and light.

Descendant of Te Parawhau, Te Uriroroi and Ngāti Mahuta, founder of Noa Records, and inter-dimensional artist, WAIWHAI. (Rāhana Tito-Taylor) walks under the tutelage of many giants in form and spirit from various musical traditions as an exponent of taonga puoro (traditional Maori instruments), psychedelic groove music, and avant-garde beats - think Hirini Melbourne meets Sun Ra meets Jeff Parker meets Les Rallizes Dénudés meets Ras G.

WAIWHAI.(fka WhyFi.) has been a trailblazing force within the Tāmaki Makaurau and wider Aotearoa music scene since the mid 2010’s, an artist who leans courageously into traditional and iconoclastic tendencies to stretch and weave sound and feeling, summoning spontaneous music that wades between the strange and familiar.
