An explosive mix of Reo Māori & Big Band Jazz

TNT

TNT! incorporates the explosive power of big band jazz with the mana and beautiful lyricism of Te Ao Māori, in particular old-school waiata. 

Hear Wellington’s Capital City Big Band, performing bespoke musical arrangements by Musical Director Vaughn Roberts, delivered bilingually and sung in Te Reo Māori in a friendly and accessible format. Featuring renowned vocalist Lisa Tomlins, Tauranga’s own Jeremy Hantler, and Māngai Māori Greg Crayford.
