Ariana Tikao, Bob Bickerton - Muriwai (2024)

The new album Muriwai by the duo Ariana Tikao and Bob Bickerton, released on Oro Records, represents a synthesis of Māori and Celtic musical traditions. The release is based on live material from their 2024 New Zealand tour, performed using vocals, Celtic harp, and authentic taonga pūoro instruments. Conceptually, the album reflects a chronological and spatial journey, spanning from indigenous creation myths and regional settlement to contemporary environmental issues and the anthropogenic impact on nature.
