A convoluted and complex attack on vocal harmonies with sweet lyrics...Toni Huata breaths family history, land loves, language, identity, heart loves" - New Zealand Musician 2001

Co-Produced by Toni and Flax Wax studios, Te Maori e is a 16 track album of compositions, a smooth mix of jazz, dub, jungle, flamenco, classical, poi and traditional.
Described by one critic as "a visual and aural delight", Te Māori e features the cream of New Zealand musicians and was the first album ever launched as a theatrical show in the stunning Museum of New Zealand - Te Papa Tongarewa.
This multi media event was supported by an ensemble of 16 traditional Māori dancers, story tellers, musicians and fashion designers. The album and show is a tribute to the strength and positive Māori spirit.
