Moana & the Tribe - ONO (Mash Up)
The featured album this week on Around the World is ONO by Moana and the Tribe. ONO means six in Māori. A fuller version of the title could be Six Songs, Six Nations, One Voice. [Videos]
The guests on the album representing the six nations are from Scotland, The Sapmi region of the north of Norway, Australia, Taiwan, Canada, and Hawai‘i.
[the] concept album project that begins in Aotearoa New Zealand and travels the world. Each song showcases the voice, language and culture of six Indigenous wāhine from lands where Moana & the Tribe has performed.
The Māori lyrics written by Te Manahau Scotty Morrison are inspired by traditional karakia (incantations) and pay homage to “people power”, relationships and language.
From the Arctic Circle to the highlands of Scotland; from Canada to the misty mountains of Taipei; out of Australia and up to the islands of Hawai‘i, producers Paddy Free and Moana Maniapoto mix sublime vocals with electronica-dub to create a World Music album that symbolises hope and unity.
Maniapoto comments, “ONO was a highly ambitious concept. Not sure what I was thinking. It was probably more about what I was feeling.”
“I’ve always been into fusing haka with hip hop, mōteatea with soul, taonga pūoro with western instruments, Māori with English, classical with contemporary, passion with politics. I love that it’s normal now. It wasn’t always. My friend and manager Sol de Sully has taken me and my band around the world to strange lands, where we saw ourselves in the people we met.
ONO builds on those connections. It celebrates solidarity, shared colonial experience, and the rich diversity of Indigenous cultures”. [The New Zealand Music Commission]

Jake Blount & Mali Obomsawin feat. Joe Rainey - "My Way's Cloudy" (Official Music Video)
Jake Blount is no stranger to Around the World. I’ve been playing music from his previous albums since the show began. He’s from Providence, Rhode Island and specializes in the traditional music of African Americans. Blount is particularly known as a fiddle and banjo player. His first two albums – Reparations and Spider Tales had a strong Americana flavour – county songs in a fairly traditional style. They was followed by The New Faith which was more experimental. For this his fourth, Symbiont, he has partnered with Mali Obomsawin. She too is a roots musician coming from the Abenaki First Nation at Odanak in Quebec.
Together they’ve invited other musicians to guest
Sidy Maiga – drummer from Mali
Cornet player Taylor Ho Bynum
Joe Rainey – the PowWow singer from the Minnesota area.
