Nga Tama Kino

We have been a band for twelve years, mind you the fact that we are brothers could mean that we have been a band all our lives. We consider ourselves to be an indigenous band, being that we do not do this for profit (although that would be nice) it is as if it is a calling.

If after hearing our waiata you would like us to come to your town, city, festival or concert then we would definately for a reasonable price go out of our way to come and play our brand of waiata / music to you.

The band members tribal affiliations including our ancient connections, to the indigenous peoples of America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia: are through Nga Puhi, Ngati Hamoa, Te Hikutu, Tautari, Ngati Awa, Rangitane, Muaupoko, Te Roroa, Ngati Rehia etc. Our parents marriage was a toumou or an arranged union between the (chiefly) ariki lines of the indigenous people of aotearoa and the ali’i (chiefly lines) or the indigenous people of Samoa.
