Ingoingo - Yearn, Desire Manawa Titi - The heart of a Titi is an analogy used for someone who is determined like the Titi bird who travels miles across the sea One of Aotearoa's brightest talents and boldest vocalists, PERE, simply soars on his new single 'Ingoingo'. A song of determination, [high on] 'Ingoingo' tells the story of a boy who is to achieve his heart's true desires - remaining true to himself as he strives to his dreams and aspirations. His ingoingo. With an unmistakable voice, full of power and passion, Pere blends old school Maori soul, with a New Orleans jazz vibe, to create an empowering anthem, full of heart and spirit. 'Ingoingo' was composed by Pere in 2011, when he was still in full immersion Reo Maori at high school. Remaining one of his most dearest songs, he united with producer Rei Music (who is also an artist in his own right) at the award-winning KOG Studios in Auckland, to bring the song to life in 2019. The song will be accompanied by a video produced, directed and edited by award-winning Shae Sterling. (Date of release TBC) For many, Pere is a familiar face - and voice - as the founding member and co-manager of Maoridom's current top singing sensation Maimoa, trailblazing Maori music in this modern times.
