Over mij

Me, Myself, and I
Wow the year is almost over! Always good to reflect with joy to those whom have passed on such wonderful gifts, all our life experiences and remember that were one door closes another will open. It is a time to welcome new life, attract our dreams to reality; heighten opportunities, career paths, relationships and your full potential! Change is good so let's embrace it!

My music is inspired by my family and life experiences so far, in particular the passing of my grandfather Te Okanga Kahutapere Huata and the birth of my son Te Okanga Maihi Metekingi Huata-Wagner and now Ropine Anihaka Huata-Wagner. It weaves whakapapa, Maori language, musical styles that I love and is a fusion of jazz, jungle, dub, dance, classical, world and tradition. I'm doing a new album right now and it's called Whiti. All about the light whanau!

  • Happy Matariki 2009!

    Well it has been an interesting Matariki!

    8 years ago during Matariki my favourite grand aunt Hera Ropine Te Hoangaro passed away. She is my mother and daugthers name sake and we loved staying with you in Gisbourne always aunty! And how you taught me piano and did our karakia for us at the festival gigs the klist goes on but I always remember you. I wore your glamourous silver shawl for my first performance with a new Pop / Opera group at the Matariki Ball...thank you Aunty Bunt!

    As we all know big stars and whanau members have left us this Matariki ... lets not forget the gifts they have left and all the love that we have for them...our relationship never stops just changes...in a way elevates.

    Anyway I also love Matariki for the celebrations that are held around the country, to the many talented people, of course the kai and agree let's have a Matariki Day! This would be interesting as the dates vary every year but it would still be great!

    So on that note HAPPY MATARIKI! Happy New Year!

  • Kua tae mai a Ropine!

    Well it has been 4 weeks since the big event and our darling Ropine has been lovely.

    Her birth was anticipated but still a little bit of a surprise. In my spirit I knew she was coming earlier and I hoped she would arrive early in the School Hoildays and she sure did on Easter Sunday 12th April at 12:30pm in room 12 at Atarangi, Hastings. 7lb 4oz.

    I was going for a check up and Jean (our midwife in Heretaunga) at Atarangi when she said you are 7cm dialated you will be having this baby in an hour...of course my reaction was WHAT!

    She cam peacefully into this world with no trouble at all. Her Papa and Gran were the only ones present this time, ptio remained attached to her whenua and she went straight onto her wai u.

    She has been a joy ever since. Just had a visit from Ngarangi (midwife in Poneke) and she is now 9lb 4oz so is feeding very well and is content. Our whanau just adore her and Te Okanga is so good with his baby sisterI

    Happy Mothers Day to all for yesterday...truely the worlds greatest gift...xxx

  • Whanau mai a Ropine

    Yes we have two weeks to go before Ropine arrives.

    We had a scan yesterday cos the midwife thought she might be small but she is fine and in fact adverage to slightly heavier 6 pound 7. We are so excited to meet her and they gave us a picture of her face...taku cutie...
    Anyhow it has been so long since writing a blog and lots has happened since Pago but the best gift of all is Ropine arrival.

    Adrian has new mahi at Film archive, Te Okanga loves his kura Otari and I have done some wonderful performances of my show Te Reo Parekareka.

    I look forward to a new ablum recording and a new whare this year...so great changes and developments ahead...

    Mauri ora!

    Kia ora Toni, not a stranger here just a friend you haven't met yet. Listening to your many waiata on Maori Television in the mornings before it actually starts broadcasting programmes for the day and I must say you have a huge fan in me , you're brilliant thanx for the beautiful waiata and thats coming from someone who can't even speak my own language, (maori).

    Hi mete

    Just got home, been at the marae washing dishes for Mane Neho's tangi, it's absolutely packed, Kahungunu have had him at 3 different marae before they take him to Nga Puhi. Very sad day for Ngati Kahungunu, but just as well all the marae are sharing in the load otherwise be too much for the 1 marae people coming from everywhere to pay their respect.
    Let me know when and where you kai mete, if it Saturday will try to get there depends on the clean up time after babys big day. Catch up with you the weekend mete.
