Mānawa maiea Matariki, TAWAZ

'Mānawa maiea Matariki' is TAWAZ’s stirring celebration of Matariki! The Māori New Year. Featuring legendary voices Stan Walker, Hone, HERA, Hops, Neps, and Rani, this waiata is a powerful anthem of reflection, renewal, and coming together.

What does it mean? “Mānawa maiea” means “hail the rising,” a chant that mirrors the opening verse of the traditional Matariki kōrero: “Mānawa maiea te putanga o Matariki … Celebrate the rising of the New Year.”
