Great NZ Album: Ria Hall - Manawa Wera
Critically acclaimed singer songwriter Ria Hall is in the running for Te Māngai Pāho Te Kaipuoro Māori Toa. Her latest album Manawa Wera aimed to capture the essence and mana of Aotearoa reggae, drawing inspiration from the likes of Steel Pulse, Bob Marley, Sly and Robbie and Herbs while remaining a uniquely Ria Hall record.
