Behind the Blazers: Te Reo o Hamuera - a podcast by RNZ

Thousands of Morehu (Rātana followers) descended upon Rātana Pa on November 8th, to commemorate one hundred years of the Maramatanga – when, in 1918, Tahupotiki Wiremu Rātana received the divine message from the Wairua Tapu (Holy Spirit) and the Rātana faith was born. Te Ahi Kaa looks at one aspect of the faith, the church's famous Nga Reo Rātana brass bands.
