AUSTRALIA: www.blackmarketmusic.com.au ............................................................ ...................... CANADA: www.festival.bc.ca or 1-800-633-8282 ............................................................ ...................... www.mihirangi.com ............................................................ ......................“…from the moment this quietly spoken Maori woman stepped on stage and began her performance I knew I would never forget her… her a ccapella vocal strength sent shivers of awe down my spine. Mihirangi held the audience's avid attention… She absolutely blew us away.” Beat Magazine, Melbourne, Isabel Lim, 2006 ............................................................ ...................... Dubbed “the Kiwi sensation”, “the Maori Princess of funk”, Mihirangi is a solo artist of contemporary originals and soulful world roots with a rare performance style. Creating her own band sound live in front of her audience using a loop pedal, the key to Mihirangi's sound is the layering of her own vocal sounds. From the foundation of fat solid bass lines to intricately layered harmonies, rhythmic ‘ska’ chops, sensuous jazzy riffs and beat-boxing – its all done with her voice. Also a multi-instrumentalist Mihirangi plays percussion, guitar and traditional Maori instruments. ............................................................ ...................... Renowned for her distinctive vocal style with an extraordinary range of power, expression, vitality and intensity, Mihirangi possesses both feminine tenderness and grrrrl power. An activist and a dream weaver with a confidence and credibility in her natural expression of stagecraft she is a performer who imaginatively reflects the moment. ............................................................ ...................... Born in Aotearoa (NZ) and currently residing in Australia, Mihirangi was raised in a touring musical family with a history that exposes a passionate affection for her Maori ancestry. With a unique Polynesian global sound, the parallel of the ancient and modern is portrayed in the distinctiveness of her writing and the spirit in which it is delivered is with the composure of a woman fulfilling her destiny. ............................................................ ...................... Playing out her concerns for indigenous, environmental and spiritual issues and endearing herself to audiences around the world, her journey and insight offers a refreshing perspective of contemporary culture. Although reverent in her traditional deliverance, when her groove kicks in, Mihirangi is all liberation and raw power. Her utterly unique musical vision, and the cross-cultural harmony that she herself represents, will be heard. ............................................................ ...................... Having guested with the likes of Lee Scratch Perry, Michael Franti, K’Naan, Salmonella Dub, and The Waifs, Mihirangi has served a rich and diverse musical apprenticeship while her broad talents have infiltrated all levels of the global music scene: She’s sung at the helm of a three-hundred-plus choir, hosted a Maori Haka at the Melbourne International Arts Festival, supported Alice Cooper, and worked in television for three years as host of “Noise TV”. ............................................................ ...................... In the past two years Mihirangi has been a highlight of the national and international festival circuits. Her unforgettable performances surpassed all expectations and her one-woman show was the toast of the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand music industries. Being one of the top selling festival artists Mihirangi has been invited back to the Canadian circuit for another summer of touring in July and August.RECORDING MOEMOEA REKA photos by Rusty Stewart | |
