MAURI TÖ Everlasting Force

The Mauri Tö album has been described as the Everlasting Thymos having vitality with absolution.

Born out of Tonis desire to develop further the songs written by her late grandfather Major Te Okanga Kahutapere Huata. Mostly written in old Moteatea way, a style of language best equated to Shakespeare or Goethe. The music is a masterpiece gently caressing each song with subtle background & strong traditional vocal styles.

Local sounds with international flavour, Toni Huata joins the ranks of composers and performers taking the unique sound of Aotearoa to the world....Confidently blending both Maori and non-Maori worlds, Toni has captured sounds and feelings from the past, while mixing them with todays international influences....
