MOKOTRON - KO WAI KOE?

MOKOTRON releases their new single KO WAI KOE? Watch more videos from Sunreturn here: https://bit.ly/39F5BV7 MOKOTRON is a Tāmaki-based Māori producer from Ngāti Hine, who spreads seismic waves of low frequency Indigenous electronic music. Exploring ancient futurism through music, MOKOTRON imagines a reality without colonisation, where the ancestors transition from the ancient world into the modern, creating futures of hope juxtaposed with the hard realities of urban disconnection.  KO WAI KOE? is accompanied by a music video created by animator Simon Ward in collaboration with one of Aotearoa’s leading contemporary Māori digital artists Kereama Taepa (and made with assistance from NZ On Air Music).  Listen to more MOKOTRON here: Bandcamp: https://mokotron.bandcamp.com/ MOKOTRON explains: “I wrote this lyric over a decade ago when I was involved in discussions with an iwi to settle their grievances in regard to Crown breaches of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We were in discussions with the inappropriately named Te Papa Atawhai, the Department of Conservation, known to some Māori as the Department of Confiscation. The Crown had very little land to return to the iwi - some of the only Crown land left in their region was conservation land. I watched as DOC explained that the lands could not be used for anything except to accommodate tourists, in one of the poorest and least developed regions in the country. Understand, some of the communities here are without basic utilities, like electricity, water, phone lines, cell phone coverage or internet. People don’t realise we have third world conditions in this country. The iwi asked if they could build a marae or plant gardens on the land, DOC said no, responding they wanted the land to return to its traditional state. Exasperated, the iwi responded that gardens were the traditional state the land had been in for 1000 years. DOC had nothing to say to that.” “Conservation lands are not a sign of government foresight, benevolence or environmental prudence. In the Anglo-settler nations, settlers stole Indigenous lands and destroyed our eco-systems. The theft of conservation lands was the last stage of this process – once settlers had stolen and destroyed all the land of ‘economic value’, they stole the final tribal hinterlands and coastal lands with no ‘economic value’ and turned them into national parks.” “I remember feeling a deep sense of rage, that public servants would have the right, let alone the gall, to tell mana whenua what to do. I wrote this down as a reggae song. The song had a chorus and verses. Sadly I lost the piece of paper I wrote it on and couldn’t remember the verses. Years later I had this breakbeat tune going, and suddenly the lyrics of the chorus just came out of my mouth, or what I remembered of them. That’s how the song came about. The post-script is that the iwi eventually chose to occupy the lands held by DOC.” KO WAI KOE? Lyrics Ko wai koe, ki te whakarite i ngā ture? Ko wai koe, ki te patupatu i ngā uri? Ko wai koe, ki te whakahē, ki te whakaāe? Koe wai Te Papa Atawhai? Te pātai....
