Moisturise & Decolonise, Rei's on Tour in Aotearoa!
Event Description
Electro-haka to the world, catch Rei in Aotearoa before he heads overseas!
Multi-award-winning Māori artist Rei is hitting the road across Aotearoa this March and April with the Moisturise & Decolonise Tour, bringing his electro haka live show to Hamilton, Opotiki, Gisborne, Rotorua, Tauranga and Christchurch.
The tour celebrates Rei’s latest album Moisturise & Decolonise, a 15-track project exploring the balance between cultural reclamation and personal wellbeing. From kaupapa-driven rap songs like Toitū and Still Here to tropical pop and RnB-influenced tracks such as Seasons and Hine Manea, the album blends contemporary sounds with the rhythms, language and spirit of te ao Māori.
“The album is about duality,” Rei says.
“Many of us are on a journey reclaiming language and culture while also trying to look after ourselves. Moisturise & Decolonise is a reminder to regenerate, meditate, and take care of yourself during that journey.”
Three years in the making, the album marks a new chapter in Rei’s music. Having toured internationally across Canada, Japan and Australia, and performed at events such as SXSW Sydney, WOMEX Manchester and Osaka Expo, Rei has increasingly leaned into leading with Māori culture in his music and live performances.
“When I travel around the world with my music, I see how much people connect with our culture,” Rei says. “Every time we haka, the phones come out and the wairua spreads through the crowd. It made me realise I need to lead with the culture, not tuck it away in the background.”
