Place des Festivals - Montréal Gratuit
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

Les spectacles de Rei sont une véritable décharge d’énergie. Qu’il enflamme la scène principale de WOMAD ou de Splore, qu’il clôture l’International Indigenous Music Summit à Toronto ou qu’il se produise à WOMEX en Europe, il crée toujours une connexion forte avec le public. Son univers musical, à la fois festif et rassembleur, fait danser les foules tout en célébrant la culture māorie, laissant les spectateurs inspirés et portés par son énergie. Avec des prestations de kapa haka (arts de la scène māoris), des taonga pūoro (instruments traditionnels māoris), des paroles en langue māorie et des visuels saisissants, ses performances offrent une expérience unique sur la scène musicale internationale. D’ascendance Ngāti Raukawa et Ngāti Pākehā, Rei fusionne les musiques du monde avec des influences électroniques, hip-hop, pop et dance, créant un style résolument personnel. Avec plus de 15 millions d’écoutes sur Spotify, sept Waiata Māori Awards et cinq nominations aux NZ Music Awards, il s’impose aujourd’hui comme l’une des figures marquantes de la scène musicale autochtone contemporaine. Au-delà de la musique, Rei et son équipe participent régulièrement à des panels et à des ateliers consacrés à la création musicale ancrée dans les cultures autochtones, notamment dans le cadre de SXSW Sydney, Going Global, WOMAD, WOMEX et du Toitū Language Festival en Aotearoa (Nouvelle-Zélande). L’an dernier, Rei a poursuivi son rayonnement international avec la sortie de Still Here, une collaboration réunissant le rappeur autochtone canadien Drezus et l’artiste autochtone australien DRMNGNOW. En février 2026, il a également lancé Ancestor NRG, en collaboration avec Handsome Tiger de Vancouver. Le morceau a été diffusé sur SiriusXM et a cumulé des centaines de milliers de vues sur les réseaux sociaux.

Rei’s live performances are an electrifying experience. Whether headlining the main stage at WOMAD or Splore, closing the International Indigenous Music Summit in Toronto, or performing at WOMEX in Europe, he brings infectious energy and a deep connection with his audience. His uplifting, multi-genre sound gets crowds moving while celebrating Māori culture, leaving audiences feeling empowered and inspired. Featuring live kapa haka (traditional Māori performing arts), taonga pūoro (traditional Māori instruments), lyrics in te reo Māori, and striking Māori visual elements, Rei’s performances offer a truly unique experience on the global music stage. Of Ngāti Raukawa and Ngāti Pākehā descent, Rei blends world music with electronic, hip-hop, pop, and dance influences to create a sound that is unmistakably his own. With more than 15 million Spotify streams, seven Waiata Māori Awards, and five New Zealand Music Award nominations, he has established himself as one of the leading voices in contemporary Indigenous music. Beyond performing, Rei and his team regularly take part in panels and workshops exploring the creation of music rooted in Indigenous culture at international events such as SXSW Sydney, Going Global, WOMAD, WOMEX, and the Toitū Language Festival in Aotearoa New Zealand. Last year, Rei expanded his international reach with the release of Still Here, a collaboration with Indigenous Canadian rapper Drezus and Indigenous Australian artist DRMNGNOW. In February 2026, he also released Ancestor NRG with Vancouver-based Handsome Tiger. The track received airplay on SiriusXM and accumulated hundreds of thousands of views across social media.
