Solidarity concert for Ihumaatao
The music industry is stepping up to support the Ihumaatao occupation with a concert and CD release in Auckland on Saturday.
Ninakaye Taane-Tinorau from Glitch Free Productions says the concert at the Studio on Karangahape Rd will feature Maisey Rika, Vox Dawn, Unity Pacific, Ihi, Mara TK and many more.
She says it came out of a desire by artists and musicians to support what is happening at the other end of Hape’s pathway in Ihumaatao.
"For us it was about uniting in solidarity as members of the Aotearoa music industry, taking a stand and showing we really support what is going on here and we support the protection and preservation of whenua," Ninakaye says.
The Frontline Solidarity for Ihumaatao Concert at The Studio kicks off at 8pm Saturday, and there’s a special edition of the Toitu Te Whenua CD for VIP ticket holders.
