About this research
Louise Kewene-Doig (Tainui, Ngāti Haua), University of Otago
My research focus is Māori music experiences of the 1960s through the Māori Showband phenomenon. Using Kaupapa Māori and whakapapa research methods, my thesis will explore the importance of the Māori Showbands from the perspective of band members. I am creating unique ways of retelling cultural and social experiences as well through the development of Tutuku a digital archive.
