After the release of our album Te Mahi Tamariki and an unofficial late entry tendered by Te Whenua to these awards, the awards organisers invited us to attend. The Annual Māori Music Awards are held in Napier. We only travelled as guests of the organisers, rather than nominees but it was an opportunity for two of our hardworking rakatahi to see what is involved in the music industry and to meet and network with others in that arena.
Despite what it might look like in the photo, we didn't win any awards, but we did make some new friends.
