Piripi Christie
Piripi Christie is a young talented singer songwriter with an ability to compose in both the English and Maori language. Piripis skills in traditional Maori performing arts and culture as well as his interest in contemporary forms of music and dance have seen him develop a unique creative original presentation.
I started to compose Maori songs in 1995 when I joined the Waitara Maori culture group (Te Roopu Kapahaka o Waitara).
Piripi was taught the Maori language, customs and the old teachings of te kauae raro (jaw of earthly knowledge) and te kauae runga (jaw of heavenly knowledge)...
