A world premiere of thoughtfully curated songs, more than 30 years in the making, presented as a Black Moana Sovereign Story. Award-winning musician Teremoana Rapley performs her long-awaited, full-length debut album Daughter of a Housegirl.
Bass-heavy beats and sweet flamenco-inspired folk tunes are overlaid with vibrations and frequencies, encouraging audiences to be present in this inter-dimensional, multi-disciplinary musical experience of life, love, and living. A multi-talented artist whose journey began with Upper Hutt Posse and Moana and the Moahunters, Rapley (Cook Islands, Jamaica) uses reflections of breath and heartbeat to underline this salutation and dedication to her late mother as a celebration of what was, what is, and what will be.

Part two of triptych Black Moana sovereign storytelling series, this is Of a Housegirl.
Fresh from her sold-out 2021 Kia Mau Festival theatre debut, Daughter, Teremoana Rapley continues her live creative research and development inquiry triptych series with Of a Housegirl.
The second instalment of this analogue, sensory-challenging experience, is the continued culmination of her-storytelling ability, told through multidisciplinary means of music, imagery, shadow-play, audio-spatial design, moving images and space.
Watch creativity unfold in real time, inner conversations and outstanding salutations of a 30+ year career in music, events and television. Teremoana brings her whole self to the table, unapologetically expressing her thoughts delivered in a natural curation process, interplayed between aural and visual sensations from 808’s bass to sweet acoustic tunes; from seasonal backdrops to artistic graphic design interpretations of each of her songs.
Step inside the world of a Black Moana Sovereign Storyteller.
