Waiata Anthems

On August 5, 2019, it was announced that a collective of 12 New Zealand musicans would be releasing a collective album in which each artist/group sings one of their songs entirely in Te Reo Māori. The album’s release on September 6, 2019, will mark the 20th anniversary of Hinewehi Mohiperforming the New Zealand National Anthem in Māori for the first time and also coincide with Maori Language Week (Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori), which runs from September 9 to September 12.
