Matariki
Some tribes start celebrations when Matariki stars are the first seen, however, it is the first new moon after Matariki that officially signals the Maori New Year. People celebrate the New Year on the day the new moon rises, and others celebrate on the day after the new moon. The festival can last up to 3 days.
Traditional music is played at a Matariki festival
I like the music because it is Traditional
Hey Brradley,
ReplyDeleteIt is really interesting to find out new information about Matariki. Do you know what month of the year that people normally celebrate? Is it a specific date?
From your last statement it sounds like you have been to a Matariki festival? Do you have a youtube example of some music that I would hear?
Thanks for sharing your learning,
Look forward to hearing from you,
