Mauri To album has been described as Everlasting Thymos having vitality with absolution and vision. Born out of Toni’s desire to develop further the songs written by her late grandfather Major Te Okanga Kahutapere Huata. Mostly written in old Moteatea, a style of language best equated to Shakespeare or Goethe. The music is a masterpiece gently caressing each song with subtle background & strong traditional vocal styles. A genius in the manipulation of sound Mauri To, also owes a lot to producer Maaka McGregor of WAI, BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards Nominee Finalist.
