Formed in 2002, Moana Maniapoto & The Tribe have played nearly 150 international concerts. Their 2008 album 'Wha' is an extensive collage of contemporary dub, reverential odes to heroes lost, emotive reminders about our past, and sensual love songs. The sounds range from electronic programming through to flugel horn to Taonga Puoro (traditional Maori instruments) and include historical recordings such as that of the 28th Maori Battalion. It is their first entirely Maori language album and their first foray into collaborations with the classical world including composer Victoria Kelly and members of the New Zealand Trio (one of this country's most acclaimed professional chamber groups). Tracks: 1. He Waiata Aroha na Puhiwahine 2. Titia 3. Whaura 4. Rangikane ana 5. Manawa Tahi 6. Te Apo 7. Te Arawa e 8. Pae o Riri 9. Matakuikui 10. Wha 11. Iri Kura 12. He Waiata Aroha na Puhiwahine
