STILL HERE SEASON 2

There are albums that feel tied to a season, and others that feel tied to a place. The soundtrack to Still Here Season 2 is both. Rooted in Tāmaki Makaurau, and it's Pasifika communities, Hanisi Garue has built a collection I’ve found myself returning to day after day through summer, delivered with patience, respect, and aroha. It's not often I'd think an album belongs in every collection, but this is the closest in a long time. - Hunter

STILL HERE SEASON 2 gathers the Moana-Fi recordings created for the second season of the Still Here documentary series, a love letter to Central Auckland’s Pasifika communities. Pieced together by Navākatoa Tekela-Pule (Schofield Strangelove) and David Feauai-Afaese (Leao), the 28 tracks were recorded in the front room of Tekela-Pule’s Grey Lynn family home, a space affectionately named Hanisi Garue (“loving care & work” in Rotuman). That warmth carries the same spirit as the stories it soundtracks - Flying Out

HANISI GARUE - STILL HERE SEASON 2: a compilation of Moana-Fi (Mo-Fi) recordings pieced together in love by Navākatoa Tekela-Pule and David Feauai-Afaese.

Recorded in the front room of Navākatoa's family home in Grey Lynn, warmly named 'Hanisi Garue’ ( loving care & work ),
the recording duo and space behind the creation of the music provide potent and lived connections to the narratives they support
on-screen through STILL HERE, speaking to the legacies of Pasifika families still situated within Central Auckland's suburbs.
