Kārewa
Riiki Reid and Muroki , Music Video – 2023
I don't have the words to show how much I admire Muroki and Riiki and the amazing, beautiful way they sing and the way they pronounce the words.– Backup singer Raniera Blake on working with Muroki and Riiki Reid, in episode 14 of Waiata Anthems' 2013 season
Since the first one I did, you know I did the translation of 'Wavy', I was like 'oh man I'd love to write a song from scratch in te reo and have it be its own entity, and have it be known as 'Kārewa'. So it's been amazing that the support's been there to make something like that happen.– Musician Muroki on co-writing Kārewa in te reo, in episode 14 of Waiata Anthems' 2013 season
I am part Māori but I haven't learnt te reo Māori, and this is for me a really awesome first step in delving into my culture.– Musician Riiki Reid on connecting with her culture for Kārewa, in episode 14 of Waiata Anthems' 2013 season
