While it may be our first time collectively celebrating Matariki this Friday, many have been doing it for decades.

And what better way to bring people together than with music!

Singer songwriter Maisey Rika has reached the NZ Official Top 40 for all five of her albums, which she performs in both Te Reo and English.

And in 2020, she created an album - Ngā Mata o te Ariki Tāwhirimātea - which was based on the Matariki stars.
