‘Suena Oro’ is a project launched to weave together musical experiences from the Māori and Spanish worlds. Out of this creative landscape emerges an immersive space, filled with songs that explore our languages and musical traditions while expanding into open-ended experimentation. Inspirations are drawn from genres such as mōteatea, waiata Māori, Spanish folk music, children’s music, and drone music, all combined to create an orphic experience that serves as a metaphorical retreat, where the listener can seek mental and spiritual refuge.

This free live music Wednesday at Moon, Suena Oro will be performing a special full te reo Māori set.

Wednesday, 15th April, 6.30pm - Free entry + pizza specials!
