The relatively new instrument called handpan melts well together with the playful melodic guitar. Our name “Mataora” means in the Maori language “life” and that is the exact translation for our personal names as well. Every song comes and goes in a flow - sometimes calm, sometimes turbulent - but always present, finding ourselves in a sea of notes riding on the sound waves. That is why we call ourselves: Mataora - Living Ocean.
We play dreamy, calm but also playful worldly music to uplift a space into a higher realm.
Fly away was a co-creation of all the collaborative members. It serves as a message of inspiration, to fly, explore the world, make experiences, but always come back to our inner home. It is the message of embracing the journey of life, and the inner knowing that we are never alone, we have each other. MaryNova, Mataora and Michael Morris came together at a spiritual festival, in that same instance they were on stage together. When they play, they fly together, and take everyone with them.
The song was written with the purpose of bringing the message of inner peace, the frequency that is in every human being. We all go through challenges, and it is in our hands to find bliss and bring the miracle of life into our beingness, invoke peace from within and truly create the soul masterpiece! Marynova and Mataora collaborated on this song together, Mataora provided the most soulful arrangement, and like that shared the song with multiple live audiences. The song invoked inspiration and touched the hearts of all that came to listen.
Yoniverse was written by MaryNova in a jungle in Peru, when she was going through a deep initiation of reclaiming her sacred heart through the portal of divine feminine frequency. This song appeared as a true invocation of the sacred feminine power within. The masterpiece! MaryNova co-operated with Mataora and they performed Yoniverse live and touched the audience with it tremendously. There were tears, laughter and immense gratitude they received from all that came to listen.
May we all remember to play, explore with curiosity, touch with passion and taste with joy. May we all remember being children. The song consists of melodies and harmonies that have flowed well in Hai's mind for years, Michael Morris wrote the lyrics as a letter from the Higher Self to the Little Self. With Haim's unique Hang sound and percussion, the song is dedicated to the children of this world.. and to the child within us all. Live playfully, create freely, act respectfully and love fearlessly - that's the basic message of this song.
TOGETHER, YACHAD, BERSAMA.Although it sounds different in every language,we all know deep inside, that part of healing is to be together. Life brought Tanja, Hai and Haim Together.We are Shantaya and Mataora in a magical way. Full of love for each other,we set ourselves the goal of uniting and healing through music. This is how the song was born, out of the Middle Eastern culture Hai grew up in, the Indian rhythms Haim absorbed from his mother, and on this carpet Tanja, charmed by Bali's culture, brought the melody and Lyrics from her deep Soul
