“KOMMI is a non-binary solo music artist, recording and performance collaborator, writer, poet, swampwitch, and a lecturer in Māori and Indigenous Studies and Te Reo Māori, based in Ōhinehou-Lyttelton, Christchurch. Their Witch-Hop / Swamp-Hop music is all delivered in te reo Kāi Tahu, the dialect of the largest iwi within Te Waipounamu.
KOMMI is most known for their discombobulating stage shows with a full live witch-hop and funk/jazz band along with their onstage spooks and supernatural beings. Largely spiritual, partly chill, partly hyper, and somewhat theatrical in places, this is a one-time show not to be missed. It will creep up on you and carry you through a philosophical reconciliation with KOMMI’s own personal taipō (spooks, goblins, ghosts).
KOMMI’s music retains a unique indigenous Kāi Tahu world view in which they explore kaupapa such as being haunted, whaiwhaiā (witchcraft) and tūrehu (faerie-like people), also visions of death and escapism, and cautionary tales to not be careless with one's words. They also perform songs about being hōhā – with many things, including the current government - and songs about the pigs (da piggymana).
KOMMI’s new EP ‘TAUWHENUA’ is a collaboartive effort with aclaimed producer Infectiouss, which consists of exquisitely spooky and spellbinding te reo Māori rap songs.
Ekari ekari! Eaoia!”
