STATEMENT
Starting in Ngāmotu (New Plymouth) tomorrow, Te Māngai Pāho begins consultation on the development of its National Māori Music Strategy.
“Every year, we have up to $750,000 to
produce and promote music tracks and projects in te reo
Māori,” says Larry Parr, Kaihautū of Te Māngai
Pāho.
“Traditionally we have invested in Māori
language music for broadcast on iwi radio. More recently we
have moved to include funding te reo Māori music for
airplay on on-demand services such as Spotify, iTunes and
social media platforms.
“To ensure our distribution
of funding remains fit for purpose, we are seeking feedback
on our approach to funding te reo Māori music, and looking
to create a te reo Māori music strategy that empowers our
musicians and ultimately facilitates the sharing of our
language with the world,” says Mr Parr.
The
consultation document can be found online here, and feedback can be
provided online here.
Te Māngai Pāho is
also running a series of kanohi ki te kanohi (face to face)
hui across the motu, starting with the hui in Ngāmotu (New
Plymouth) tomorrow. All interested music composers, artists,
producers, industry practitioners, broadcasters, and te reo
Māori exponents are invited to attend.
Feedback is
open until 23 Hui-tanguru (February)
2020.
