In He Reo Tawhito, a conversation about Mōteatea with Kingi Kiriona, Kingi speaks about the era of our tīpuna who were born into a natural Māori world of which we can now only dream, imagine, or glimpse by understanding the lyrical depths that make mōteatea what they are—a means to express hurt, loss, adulation, and deep thought, as well as the remarks, rebuttals, and jeers that arose from events or situations of the time and came to be expressed through the views of the composer.

He Reo Tawhito: Conversations about Mōteatea
Mōteatea 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 Māori 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 mōteatea and ask them: What exactly is mōteatea? How has it changed since colonisation? What issues does it face today?
