In this episode, James Webster and Libby Gray engage in a wānanga with the late tohunga pūoro, Hinewirangi Kohu-Morgan of Ngāti Kahungungu and Tauranga Moana. We delve into her vast experience in te ao pūoro, starting with the māramatanga (understanding) taught to her by her pāpā and the elders who guided her journey into te ao pūoro.
He Kete Pūoro Volume 1 album is a groundbreaking and innovative concept in the modern music scene of Aotearoa.

ORO ATUA, the brainchild of Taonga Pūoro practitioner/composer Jerome Kavanagh Poutama, has released their latest album ‘Tangaroa a Roto’. The album is a powerful ode to Māori ancestral heritage and the natural environment, created using Taonga Pūoro, Waiata Pao, and field recordings of the Taiao.
James Webster from the Haumanu Collective visited Forest Lake School in Hamilton, New Zealand and delivered a collection of Taonga Pūoro, traditional Māori musical instruments which he has made specifically for the school. The students learned the cultural significance of each instrument and will use them to learn more about Māori customs and practices.
Ōtautahi Taonga Pūoro Wānanga 13-14 May Registrations are now closed due to overwhelming demand.
