Various Artists: Waiata Anthems (2019)
The album that launched the annual celebration of te reo Māori with versions of their hits by Six60, Stan Walker, Benee, Drax Project, Kings, Bic Runga, Tami Neilson and others singing in the language. A fascinating cross-section of contemporary songs from some of our finest and a reassurance te reo Māori is in good, tuneful hands. Waiata Anthems is up to the fifth instalment in 2024 and the new edition is just as strong as this.
Next: Anna Coddington, Te Whakamika; Alien Weaponry, Tu; Wai, Ora; Whirimako Black, Soul Sessions
