TESTIMONIALS
You were asking what came out of the conference for everybody, well for us we just got a gig at the Korean Jarasum Festival from my meeting with JJ, the Korean man who was there.
That is pretty cool! So thanks again everybody for starting this great event.

“I’ve had a fantastic time in NZ, especially at Sounds Aotearoa and WOMAD. You’ve put tremendous energy and efforts to make both events a huge success. Thanks for taking good care of all the international delegates, you have been a wonderful host. Especially, I’ve been to three Powhiri but the one we all gathered at Owae Marae in New Plymouth was great experience I’ve ever had.

Sounds Aotearoa was such an awesome event and we gained a lot out of it. Meeting a lot of people within the music industry at the one place, that we hadnt met until Sounds Aotearoa was vital for us to expand our knowledge in this cut throat industry.

I just wanted to thank you for Sounds Aotearoa and the awesome job you and the team did of pulling it all together and the smooth running of the whole event. It was very beneficial for me to meet new artists and reconnected with most of the international delegates. Look forward to more in the future.

Thank you so much for Sounds – I have literally only heard good feedback from both our NZ musicians and practitioners and the international manuhiri. It was an amazing experience and one which I feel honoured to have been able to attend.

Sounds Aotearoa was fantastic I appreciated every part of it. Then the WOMAD powhiri with lots of SA people there too, the Thursday night gig then WOMAD, it was definitely the best WOMAD made so by Sounds Aotearoa. Congratulations on a successful project.
