the past and present are acknowledged in new season episodes
of documentary series UNSUNG HEROES OF MAORI
MUSIC.
Season two of UNSUNG HEROES OF MAORI MUSIC

This season includes profiles on Frankie and Jon Stevens and Eddie Low, amongst other great Maori talent and provides an insight to their career and any issues they may have faced along the way.
Narrated by Armand Crown, UNSUNG HEROES OF MAORI MUSIC tells their stories from a Maori perspective, with passion and perspective and the knowledge of someone who is from the music industry.
The first season was a great introduction to some of the most influential musicians and entertainers in our history, and now season two continues with more significant artists and bands who deserve recognition for their achievements and contributions towards Maori music.
UNSUNG HEROES OF
MAORI MUSIC gives voice to Maori performers. Tune in
from Friday, 28 October at 9.30pm to learn the untold
