In this episode, Libby engages in a captivating conversation with the well-known composer and taonga puoro practitioner, Horomona Horo, hailing from Ngāpuhi, Taranaki, and Ngāti Porou. Together, they embark on a journey into Horomona's deep love for te ao Māori and explore how his connection, not only with Taonga Pūoro but also with te reo and its tikanga, became a form of Rongoā (healing) throughout his life. 

From the bustling streets of Auckland to the profound expression of his oro (sound) through his passion for te ao Māori, Horomona's path has been profoundly influenced by Hip Hop culture. He has skillfully combined and fused various musical genres to express his wairua (spirit) in a unique and impactful way.

Join us in this episode as we delve into the fascinating story of Horomona Horo, where music, culture, and the spirit converge in a harmonious journey of self-expression and healing.
