Maori Music Award finalists IA are creators of what they have coined as 'indigenous soul music.' Their compositions blend old with new and feature the voices found with traditional Maori instruments/Taonga puoro.
The puoro voices are blended with modern instruments, ancient poetic writing style and modern soulful melodies.
For their latest release, Nga Reo, IA have teamed up with National Poetry Slam winner Te Kahu Rolleston to deliver a rhythmic yet mellow track that champions traditional Maori instruments (taonga puoro) and Te Reo Maori.
