He Waiata mā te Katoa

Nau mai, haere mai ki tēnei ahiahi waiata with Vanilla Martin. He Waiata mā te Katoa speaks to waiata shared for and with community. As part of this year’s Matariki programme hosted by Te Whare Tapere, Vanilla Martin will share an evening of live waiata through remembrance, reflection, kotahitanga, and the celebration of te tau hou Māori.

Lyric sheets will be available for those who would like to join in with the waiata shared during the evening. This event is part of Matariki 2026 , where we're celebrating Matariki with talented artists from Ōtautahi and beyond. Bring your friends and whānau to Te Matatiki Toi Ora The Arts Centre (4-12 Hōngongoi July) for music, exhibitions, kapa haka, wānanga (workshops), night mākete and much more.
