He Reo Tawhito: Conversations about Mteatea

Author: SOUNZ Centre for New Zealand Music

Mteatea is a centuries-old tradition of chanted song-poetry; a great literary and musical art form that expresses the powerful portrayal of storytelling and is reflective of the emotional depths of a Mori world view. Its vast richness is yet to be fully understood. In this seven-part series hosted by Crystal Edwards, we hold conversations with some of the world's leading experts on mteatea and ask them: What exactly is mteatea? How has it changed since colonisation? What issues does it face today?This series is supported with funding from Creative New Zealand Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
