Rangatahi rap their lives for Youth Week
An Auckland youth trust has teamed with local rangatahi to produce a waiata celebrating It’s Aotearoa Youth Week, and there’s a song for it.
Auckland-based Te Karanga Charitable Trust and youth advocacy group Ara Taiohi invited artists on their Navigator youth programmes to compose, produce and perform the waiata and music video around the week’s theme of ‘our voices matter, we deserve to be heard’.
Rapper Mana says the waiata Our Voices Matter gave him and fellow artists Kau Ft, EM, DOITZ, Ezra Mckay, Takunda, & MIRK a platform to share their experiences.
The video for Our Voices Matter is available on Youtube.
