Waiata (Song)

Discover the beauty and depth of Māori culture through the power of waiata. In this open group, you'll learn traditional and contemporary Māori songs, their meanings, and the cultural values they embody. Waiata are more than music—they're a way to connect with Te Ao Māori, strengthen your whakapapa, and build confidence in a supportive and welcoming environment.

No prior experience? No worries! Whether you're new to waiata or rekindling your connection, this group is designed to inspire and empower. Through fun, interactive sessions, you'll explore the melodies, rhythms, and stories that bring Māori traditions to life.
