As we build up to Te Matatini 2023 we invite one of the giants of te ao kapa haka; Trevor Maxwell to join us. We hear untold stories of what happened in 1983 and how "2 weeks in Manutuke" propelled many kapa into existence. We also hear about the risks Trevor and his kapa took to push the boundaries of kapahaka.

To help break up those back-to-work blues, we have some more music for you to sing along to!
Enjoy these waiata previously featured in Eps 210 — 223.

Ko ngā kaupapa i puta mai i te Petihana Te Reo Māori i ngā tau rima tekau tau ki mua pēhea te tini! Ka whakarongo tātou ki ētahi o ngā kōrero i hopukina ai i taua rā i te 14 o Hepetema o te tau 1972. Ka kōrero a Erica rāo ko Te Puaheiri mō te hunga nāna anō te kaupapa, te hunga i tae atu ki Paremata, ngā hua i puta me ngā kaupapa e tohea tonutia o moroki nei.

Following the recent Ngāti Raukawa recording and release of "Te Oriori o Raukawa", this episode discusses what an Oriori is, what they contain and the kaupapa within them. Being the composer of this Oriori, we are priveleged to be able to hear Paraone unpacking his composition process. To listen to the full 27 minute waiata, go here: https://bit.ly/3vkWKEV

Listening through the archives again, we feature and discuss 3 items from the 1986 Polynesian Festival (now called Matatini) held at the Q.E. II Park, Ōtautahi (Christchurch).

I te tau 1983 tū ai te Whetiwara Poronihia i Tomoana Showgrounds i Heretaunga kei raro i te manaakitanga o Ngāti Kahungunu. Ka āta matapakihia ētahi waiata haka anō hoki a ētahi kapa i tū ai i tēnei whakataetae. In 1983 the Polynesian Festival was held at Tomoana Showgrounds, Hastings under the care of Ngāti Kahungunu. A selection of items by some of the groups that competed in this competion are discussed .

Our old mate, Māui, is back at it in this old tale about greed, self control, and the relationship between brother in laws!  Whakarongo mai!

We have another delve back into the archives to bring you some of the items performed at what is now called Matatini, in 1981.
