NZ Music Month 2024 – Amplifying Aotearoa | Paorotia Aotearoa
AMA is proud to collaborate with NZ Music Month | Te Marama Puoro o Aotearoa, to āwhina and amplify local artists and their music. Now embedded in our cultural landscape, the month of May has grown from a period of encouraging radio to play more local tunes, to a 31-day celebration of homegrown talent across the length and breadth of the country.
This May we celebrate everyone who helps to amplify music from Aotearoa, and those who are the heartbeat of our music scene – emerging local talent and rising stars on the international stage, music fans going to local gigs and supporting their favourite artist, and those championing NZ music, taking our music across the motu and the world.
