Talk:Te Reotakiwa Dunn

Nō Wikipedia Māori

He pēnei te tuhinga tawhito, hei whakamāori, hei whakatikatika: he POV pea.

Te Reotakiwa Dunn attended Tikipunga High School, where he performed in various Kapa Haka groups which helped build the foundation of his music today.

He travelled nationally and internationally. Supporting such artists as Hinewehi Mohi, Moana, and the Master himself - Gordon Hatfield.

Reo will be releasing his debut album on the 16 Noema 2005.

I describe him as a perfectionist. Never once during the production period was he ever satisfied with a song. He new it could always be better. But on the arrival of his second child Reo knew he needed to settle with a final product.

Reo is on the search for the Māori rhythm. He stands for Māori Musicians to follow their own music style and step away from pirating pop songs, covering them for Kapa Haka competitions.

To find original Māori sound, one must look in the old school waiata tawhito. Listen to the waiata of old, and feel the power of its tunes, kupu, and history. There you will find your true sound.
