Muriwai is a musical collaboration of Ariana Tikao and Bob Bickerton.
The name refers to a confluence of two rivers, and their music is a convergence of Māori and Celtic musical traditions through Celtic harp, vocals, and they have developed a show and album which journeys through time and place starting with a Kāi Tahu creation story relating to water, through to the arrival of people in Te Waipounamu, our impact on the environment, and imagined consequences of our actions.
