Even Māori musicians who’ve passed on, including Prince Tui Teka and Robbie Ratana are remembered on Nga Patiti Maota O Te Kainga. Presented by Ben Tawhiti and Lois McIver, Nga Patiti Maota O Te Kainga is an entertainment series that looks at the lives and times of our ageing Māori rockers and what they have achieved,” says producer Te Hira Henderson. “It also uncovers where they have been, where they are now, and explains why their music plays such a big part in our lives.” Nga Patiti Maota o Te Kainga is a four part series screening on Thursdays at 7pm from 2 July.
