Fast Favourites: Matariki celebrations with Ria Hall
To celebrate Matariki, singer-songwriter, TV presenter and political candidate Ria Hall will be on stage with the Auckand Philharmonia to present a night of epic anthems. Her self-titled EP won Best Maori album at the music awards in 2012 - blending hip hop beats with rich layers of Te Reo and English. She has since released two more albums - Rules of Engagement and Manawa Wera and has collaborated with many of Aotearoa's leading musicians. Last year she ran for Mayor of Tauranga - where she was born and raised. Ria Hall joins Culture 101 as the Fast Favourites guest.
