Ariana Tikao – vocals
Richard Nunns – taoka pu-oro
Louise Potiki Bryant – visuals

Ariana collaborates with taoka pu-oro legend, Richard Nunns and video artist Louise Potiki Bryant (Kai Tahu) to produce a spellbinding work.

Mixing whanau, whakapapa and whenua, Ariana Tikao’s (Kai Tahu) show O-ha-ki- explores through music, the dying words of her ancestor, Tamati Tikao, spoken to his family at O-pukutahi, on Banks Peninsula on 27 September 1885.

‘Her songs were sung softly yet carried incredible strength with cultural importance and historical meaning’ Canta

‘A magical and at times mystical trip...like being bundled up in a big feather cloak and transported to another world.’
Weekend Herald
