A journey to uplift the tikanga of our tūpuna, reconnecting paths laid before us, carving the present and future bonds upheld through waiata. Michael Hiroti (Wear Pounamu - Te Ātihaunui-a-pāpārangi, Ngāti Apa, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa) and Curtis Lake (Lakeboon - Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Makea Ārera ki Rarotonga, Pāmati), embody the wairua of maori aura, a shared experience that intertwines both listener and artist. Merging the subtle, spiritual facets of plugg ambient, alongside hiko-waiata and taonga pūoro, mauri serves as a vessel for the life essence which flows through us all, the aura present in the relationships between living and natural things.
