Okay whānau with tamariki... this one is for you 🥹🎶

Whiti ana, tō Ana is the new te reo Māori album from Hey Moko, made to be the soundtrack for all the small (and big!) moments that make up a day with your kids💛

Think waiata to wake up and kanikani to, reo Māori affirmations, car games, self-regulation songs, whakatau hā and soothing bedtime rhythms. Basically, as producer Casey Kaa puts it, “cheat codes for every part of the day.” 🥹

The full album lands on Spotify during Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, but you don't have to wait until then... there are already a few waiata ready for you and your moko to get into now 👀🎧

The beauty of "Whakarongo" is in both its melody and its message 🥹🎶 Composed by Ngoi Pēwhairangi, "Whakarongo" is a heartfelt reminder to cherish te reo Māori, our tikanga, and the wisdom handed down through our tīpuna.

Performed here by Te Whānau Mānihera and The Harmonic Resonators, we've shared the lyrics alongside a translation to help you follow the whakaaro behind this beautiful waiata ā-ringa💛
