Ka Mua Ka Muri te iho auaha is a whakataukī/māori proverb that loosely means to walk backwards into the future. This is referencing knowing where you’re from to know where you’re going.
 
Ka Mua Ka Muri" is a music program that was established in 2022 to showcase emerging Auckland musical talent through online platforms. During NZ Music Month, for the very first time, you will be able to experience it live. Join us on Saturday, May 25th, for "Ka Mua Ka Muri Live" at Kāhui St David's, featuring emerging artists from across Tāmaki Makaurau.
 
This year's artists include SUSO 2023 alumni and winners En Passant and Juga, alongside local jazz singer Crystal Chen, hip-hop emcee Brandn Shiraz from the Young Gifted and Broke/Risera artist collectives, and multi-award-winning R&B singer Sam V.
 
A free event brought to you by Auckland Council with support from Auckland City of Music, Auckland Live, and Kāhui St David's as part of NZ Music Month.

We're looking forward to hosting these talented young musicians, and welcoming back Charles Lia (aka En Passant) who performed at our Gold & Green event last December.
