Free live concert: Ka Mua Ka Muri Te Iho Auaha

Ka Mua Ka Muri Te Iho Auaha is a Māori saying that translates loosely to walking backwards into the future, reflecting on where we are from and inspiring our creative journey into the future.

This online video music series brings this saying to life as local artists reflect on the roots of their creativity through interviews and performances.

Immersed in the bookshelves, in an intimate lamp lit corner of the basement of the Auckland Central City Library, performers share their artistry and inspiration in a relaxed and cozy atmosphere.

The fourth season of Ka Mua Ka Muri Te Iho Auaha features five incredible local artists including hip hop lyricist, Idol Essence, Stand Up Stand Out 2024 winner TEMA, soul/ funk singer Romi Wrights, acclaimed jazz pianist Joe Kaptein and Tui award winning artist Bailey Wiley.

Come and join us for the live performance of the Ka Mua Ka Muri Te Iho Auaha music series will be on Saturday 31 May from 6.30pm at Tāmaki Pātaka Kōrero - Auckland Central City Library.
