Mahinarangi is an extraordinary talent combining prolific songwriting skills, musicianship, and has been described by
Colin Hogg (Sunday Star Times) as 'a breathtaking singer'.
Music in New Zealand wrote of her as 'one of our most respected songwriters and also probably one of our most
unrecognised artists'.
This is the most pleasurable recording by a New Zealand singer I've heard since, oh, the swan song album by Crowded
House?. (David Cohen North & South)
Mahinarangi Tocker's Te Ripo displays her songwriting artistry and her extraordinary, ca
Tocker's songs are as distinctive and memorable as they are finely crafted (Graham Reid N.Z Herald)
She is a wonderful vocalist with an intricate, jazzy sense of phrasing, as well as a strong multi-instrumentalist with a
fascination for cross-rhythms. But of all her gifts, it is her songwriting that shines brightest; the songs are warm,
funny, sad, and infinitely singable (Nick Bollinger N.Z.Listener)
