About Huia
Apr 28, 2025
The first notes of Wairangi, The Waters feel like a soft welcome from the ocean itself. Huia’s smooth, beautiful voice floats over relaxing, layered sounds that blend te reo Māori and English. Produced in collaboration with Devin Abrams, the song carries the gentle strength of the moana, exploring deep reflections on humanity and mana wahine.

Filmed in Fiji, the video honors the first landing places of Melanesians, adding a rich sense of place to the experience. Wairangi, The Waters is part of Huia’s upcoming album Kawakawa, a collection of bilingual songs shaped with artists from around the world.

This waiata invites you to pause, breathe, and listen closely to the currents that connect us all.
