With 4 albums in the Mauri Ora programme, there were endless streams of Māori talent, coming in and out of our MoaTown Studio.
Two of these were the beautiful and stunning sisters, Toia Chase-Diprose & Jade Chase-Burrows. Daughters of the 'famous' Nash Chase and Debs Patterson (Chase), and sister to Jordan, they were more than happy to support the 'kaupapa'.
Having spent most of the childhood in Australia, they were initially a bit nervous about singing in Māori but they loved the song chosen for them. So, after a couple of days, they came back and recorded 'their' version of Ehara i te Mea, which features on track on of the Mauri Ora Album - Songs for Hui Gatherings (Kete 1).
It is a sweet and young sound, reflecting their wairua and 'new-ness' to this type of music!
Keep a look out for these two as they are often performing in live shows - we will continue to update this peice.
