Paddy Free (on Pitch Black - 'Mixes + Mavericks' album release) Interview by Jamie Green on Radio One 91FM Dunedin
Tu is the inspired pairing of two powerful New Zealand artists who share a passion for fusing Māori electronic dub music with a politically conscious edge. Prior to Going West 2018, Tu had only been seen by international audiences. Our festival opening night was the first chance to see this remarkable collaboration between Moana Maniapoto and Paddy Free live in Aotearoa. Moana, singer/songwriter and leader of the band Moana & the Tribe, was inducted into the NZ Music Hall of Fame in 2016 and has been internationally acknowledged for her ground-breaking mix of traditional Māori music elements such as haka and poi with dance beats. Electronic dub producer Paddy Free (Pitch Black and Salmonella Dub) is a pioneer of the New Zealand electronic scene, his reputation built on experimenting with taonga puoro (traditional Māori music instruments), beats and global bass. Tu is a unique new collaboration that can only have come from the South Pacific. It slips and slides across genres, rhythmically and sonically compelling, with a message that resonates with the times.
I tēnei ata we had the legendary Moana Maniapoto in studio to talk about her new track 'Tōku Reo' from the forthcoming album 'Opo'. Working with Pitch Black's Paddy Free, Professor Scotty Morrison and vocalist Inka Mbing from the Atayal tribe in Taiwan, Moana created the track as part of an ongoing music project exploring karakia and indigenous reo around the world. Whakarongo mai nei!

There is an eclectic mix of songs on Moana and the Tribe's latest album, Rima. First there is the electronic influence of musician Paddy Free and a commissioned duet with well-established singer and songwriter Don McGlashan. But there is still the messages of importance that is a key signature of Moana's work. The song 'Whole Worlds Watching' is a call for people to speak up about the atrocities in the Middle East and the acapella song 'Hands-Up' encourages people to vote. Te reo māori is woven into the album helped along with the contribution of te reo māori advocate and broadcaster, Scotty Morrison. Moana talks about Rima with Justine Murray.
