Cornerstone Roots
"Mai raano" from generation to generaton Maori rythmn, harmony and melody continues to tell the story of its unique identity in words and music.  It's a unifying musical force that has its roots in the land and the natural world and its spirit and memory in the experience of its people, past and present. 

Primarily driven by "te reo Maori me nga tikanga" - Maori language and culture, it adds an irrepressible life force to music from Aotearoa New Zealand.   These are some Maori artists.
