Riqi Harawira
Former Dead Flowers guitarist and award-nominated Indigenous artist Riqi Harawira returns
with his uplifting new single Ka Pīoioi, a contemporary reimagining of the beloved waiata
created with the blessing of original composer Tamai Nicolson.
An experienced artist returning with renewed purpose, Riqi blends soulful storytelling,
contemporary Māori music, and te ao Māori perspectives to create songs that connect
generations through identity, healing, language, and whānau.
Ka Pīoioi continues his Regroove Series, a kaupapa dedicated to honouring treasured waiata
while making them accessible to new audiences. Alongside his music releases, Riqi is
developing Te Kete Puoro, an educational music project supporting te reo Māori learning
and cultural connection.
