Ray Ahipene-Mercer: kaimahi, kaiwhakatangitangi, kaiwhakatikatika rakuraku

Nā Mākere Edwards te kohi kōrero

Ko te rakuraku tētehi o ngā mea tino whakahirahira ki ngā kapahaka Māori i ēnei rā. Mai rā anō i te putanga tuatahi mai o tauiwi ki Aotearoa, he nui ngā taputapu i whakaaturia mai ki te iwi Māori. Pēnei i te whira, te pū kumekume, me te rakuraku hoki.

He aha ai ko te rakuraku te mea nui ki tō tātou iwi? E ai ki a Ray Ahipene-Mercer, ko te mita me te taupatupatu pea hei āwhina i ngā waiata.

He tangata tino matatau a Ray ki te āhuatanga o tēnei pūoru whakatangitangi. Mai i tōna tipuranga, i whakaakohia mai te mahi whakatangitangi e tōna pāpā ki a ia. I a Ray e tamariki ana tuitia ana i aua rā, ko "Dedikation".

I taua wā ka wehe atu ia ki rāwāhi, ki Ingarangi. Pīrangi ana ia kia kite i te ao, me te kimi i ngā kaiwhakatangitangi hoki. I uru atu ia ki tētehi rōpū pēne i a ia i reira. I tae hoki ia ki ngā kura i te pō hei ako i te mahi hanga rakuraku. Kī mai a Ray, "E tamumu āwhe ana ahau i tētehi kaihanga-rakuraku kia akona ai te mahi hanga rakuraku me te whakatikatika rakuraku hoki. I mahi hoki au i te taha o tētehi kaihanga-rakuraku. Nā tēnā, me ngā pukapuka rakuraku i pānuitia ai e ahau, ka taea tēnei mahi. Ko te whakatikatika rakuraku taku mahi i te nuinga o ngā wā. Ahakoa, e hangaia ana ngā rakuraku e ahau ētehi wā, he nui rawa te utu ki te hoko mai, nā tēnā torutoru noa iho ngā tāngata e pīrangi ana ki ēnei momo rakuraku. "

I tōna nohotanga i Rānana i whakatikatika ia i ngā rakuraku mō ngā tāngata tino rongonui, pēnā i a Led Zepplin, me ngā rōpū Pretenders me Four Tops. E whitu ngā tau e noho ana ia i rāwāhi.

Heoi anō, nā te tino mokemoke mō te wā kāinga i hoki mai ia ki Aotearoa ki te mahi i roto i tētehi toa hoko pūoru whakatangitangi. Ko tana tūmanako kia whiwhi he putea hei hoko kāinga hei wāhi mahi mōna. Ko tōna waimarie hoki i hokona he whare e tū ana i te rohe o Te Motu Kairangi, i Te Whanganui a Tara. He mea ngākaunui ki a ia ko te kāinga tēnei o ōna tīpuna o Ngāi Tara, ko te ingoa o te pā tata tonu, ko Rangitatau. E ai ki a Ray, ahakoa kāore anō a Ngāi Tara i ora hei iwi rongonui i ēnei rā, ko rātou tonu te iwi kāinga tūturu o tēnei rohe. I moe rātou ki ngā iwi o Ngāti Kahungunu, o Ngāti Mamoe, o Ngāti Ira, o Kāi Tahu hoki, i puta mai ai ngā uri o aua moetanga. Ki a Ray, e rima rau tau kua pahure mai i te wā tuatahi i noho ai a Ngāi Tara i Te Motu Kairangi. Koinā tōna whakapapa i te taha o tōna whaea, nō Ngāi Tara. Nō tauiwi tōna matua.

Nō rāwāhi te nuinga o ngā rākau hei hanga rakuraku, ā, he nui hoki te utu. Ētehi o ngā rākau nō Aotearoa tonu nei. Tae mai ana ngā rākau, ko ngā āhua he tapawhā he papatahi. Mā tētehi mīhini e whakawera ngā rākau papatahi, mā tētehi anō e pupuri kia taea e Ray te kumekume kia tika te noho o te papa o raro me te papa o runga. Mā tētehi waihanga ritenga ka kitea kei te tika te āhuatanga o te rahi o te rakuraku, kāore rānei.

Ka waihotia te rakuraku i roto i te waihanga ritenga nei kia mau tonu te āhua, ā, ka whakapiringia ngā wāhanga mā te waipia. Ahakoa nui te utu mō te waipia nei, ko te mīharo, ka taea te tango ngā wahanga mēna kei te pīrangi te kaihanga-rakuraku ki te whakatikatika anō. Ko te whakamōhani me te whakapīata i te rākau he mea nui hei whakapai hei whakapakari te rakuraku.

E toru ngā momo rakuraku ka hangaia e Ray, ko te rakuraku aho nairona, ko te rakuraku aho rino, me te rakuraku hiko. Ka taea e Ray te whakatikatika hoki i ēnei momo rakuraku.

Ahakoa e hake ana te ringa matau o Ray, ehara tēnā i te mea tino uaua ki a ia. Kī mai a Ray, ka āhei tonu ia ki te whakatangitangi rakuraku me te hanga hoki. He mea ngāwari ki a ia ki te whakatikatika o roto o te rakuraku. Nā te iti o tōna ringa ka māmā hoki ki te kuhu ki roto.

He roa te wā mō te whakaoti rakuraku, mai i te tīmatanga tae atu ki te mutunga. Ko ngā haora kotahi rau ono tekau pea, tata ki ngā wiki e rua mēna ka mahi a Ray ia rā, ia rā.

Kī mai a Ray, "E rua noa iho pea ngā tāngata i Aotearoa e mahi ana i tēnei momo mahi. Ki tōku mōhio, ko au anake te Māori. "
