'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.”
