about

This song was created for the multi-media show of the same name, based on the 'Ōhākī' or dying message of my ancestor Tamati Tikao, spoken to his whānau in 1885. The waiata uses some of Tamati's phrases and words, but I have added my own challenge to us all, to think about what legacy we will leave for our mokopuna. This version was produced by Paddy Free, and features the voice of the late Kukupa Tirikatene.
