The Untold Stories Of New Zealand Music History
Talented Maori entertainers of the past and present are acknowledged in new season episodes of documentary series UNSUNG HEROES OF MAORI MUSIC.
Season two of UNSUNG HEROES OF MAORI MUSIC premieres on Friday, 28 October at 9.30pm.
The 13-part series profiles Maori musicians and entertainers who have been largely unrecognised by New Zealand mainstream media.
This season includes profiles on Frankie and Jon Stevens and Eddie Low, amongst other great Maori talent and provides an insight to their career and any issues they may have faced along the way.
Narrated by Armand Crown, UNSUNG HEROES OF MAORI MUSIC tells their stories from a Maori perspective, with passion and perspective and the knowledge of someone who is from the music industry.
The
first season was a great introduction to some of the most
influential musicians and entertainers in our history, and
now season two continues with more significant artists and
bands who deserve recognition for their achievements and
contributions towards Maori music.
UNSUNG HEROES OF
MAORI MUSIC gives voice to Maori performers. Tune in
from Friday, 28 October at 9.30pm to learn the untold
stories that lie beneath the radar of mainstream New Zealand
music history.
