Loopy Tunes Encourages Everyone To Give Te Reo Māori A Go With New Waiata ‘Kia Kaha Kōrero Mai’Christchurch-based children’s music stars Loopy Tunes sister duo have returned with an inspiring new waiata, ‘Kia Kaha Kōrero Mai’ released today, encouraging whānau and educators to embrace te reo Māori. Siu Williams-Lemi, who wrote the waiata, says ‘’Kia Kaha Kōrero Mai’ is about normalising te reo Māori in every household around Aotearoa - starting with our youngest tamariki - by encouraging listeners to learn karakia, waiata and kōrero Māori. The duo’s passion for sharing te reo Māori and reo rua waiata began fifteen years ago, with weekly bilingual language classes they provided for their community. “Our kaupapa has always been to share our waiata and improve access to te reo Māori for the next generation. ‘Kia Kaha Kōrero Mai’ is made with the support of NZ On Air and is available now on all major streaming platforms.
