They come to us together from Aotearoa, New Zealand, with their voices, their stories, and this deep relationship to roots and transmission that runs through their work.<\/p>\n
Joydah Mae is originally from Kabayan, in Benguet province in the Philippines, where she was born and raised in the village alongside her grandmother. A childhood rooted in community, the land, and ancestral knowledge, which has deeply nourished what she carries and shares today.<\/p>\n
Joydah is a weaver of sounds. For her, music is medicine.
\nThrough sound, vibration, and voice, she brings us back to the heart, bringing forth emotion, memory, and sometimes that strange sensation of recognizing something we had forgotten.<\/p>\n
Aroha Ashley, originally from Aotearoa, is a practitioner of indigenous healing. Her journey has led her to reclaim her ancestral heritage and, along this path, to rediscover her own voice.
\nThis voice carries the connection. To the ancestors. To the lands from which she comes. To a living memory that continues to be transmitted.<\/p>\n
It is around this relationship to the voice that their paths meet.
\nFor Joydah and Aroha, the voice is much more than an instrument.
\nIt carries our story, our emotions, our roots.
\nIt can become a path to express what asks to be expressed and rediscover something deeply our own.<\/p>\n
In October, they will cross the Pacific together to join us at Matavai and share their Voice Activation, an experience centered on sound, voice, and the power of singing together.<\/p>\n
Two women, two stories, two voices.
\nAnd an invitation: to rediscover our own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
