Te Tohu Huia i te Reo

Waiata Anthems | Universal Music New Zealand and Raukatauri Productions

I toa ko te puka whakaemi waiata o Hinewehi Mohi e kīia ana ko ‘Waiata Anthems’ – he mea whakanui te rua tekau tau nō te tū mai o te kaiwaiata nei ki te waiata i te ngaringari ā-motu ki te reo Māori i mua i tētahi kēmu o ngā Ōpango – i riro i a ia Te Tohu Huia Te Reo 2019.

“Nā te whakatau a Hinewehi ki te waiata i te ngaringari ki te reo Māori, koia te take e waiatatia ana te ngaringari o Aotearoa i ngā reo e rua, te reo Māori me te reo Ingarihi mai i ngā whakataetae Ōpango, ki ngā kura, ki ngā hōro matua, tae atu ki te whare pāremata i ēnei rā. Nā tēnei wahine korokoro tūī toa i panoni katoa ai a Aotearoa.”

Hei ngā rā e tū mai nei ka titiro whakamuri tātou ki te ara i para ai ki te whakarauoratanga, me te kite anō koia te wā i puta mai ai te reo Māori hei tino tohu matua o tō tātou Aotearoatanga.

“E whakaaturia ana e tēnei te ariā o ngā Waiata Ngaringari (Waiata Anthems): he kaiwaiata nō tēnā ahurea, nō tēnā ahurea e panoni ana i ā rātou waiata kia reo Māori te karawhiu”.
