He Waka Tapu Whānau - Waiata Matariki

This Matariki we wanted to create some mahi toi to inspire and uplift our whānau and members of our hapori, so with only a pocket full of time to spare we set out to complete the mammoth task of writing & recording a waiata, which was then turned into this beautiful visual.
Here at HWT we are fortunate to have many beautiful voices across the whole organisation, and among those voices we also have classically trained musicians & song writers as well as Taonga Pūoro enthusiasts, so we thought why not pull them all together for this beautiful kaupapa to celebrate Matariki.
