APRA NZ is joining forces with songwriters, broadcasters, funders, record labels and other music entities, to support the emergence of a bilingual music industry. Leading APRA's Maori music development, Hinewehi Mohi says "Whether artists are already recording and performing in Maori, or have just started their reo journey in this way, we want to celebrate their work and create more opportunity for it to be heard. "We're pulling together a maramataka/calendar of special events such as Matariki and Te Wiki o te Reo Maori, to create awareness and opportunity for waiata punctuations around the country, throughout 2021".
Hinewehi joins us on the phone to discuss the importance of the new project, and introduce us to some new Maori music
