Atiawa Toa FM is one of New Zealand’s premier Māori radio stations. Representing the Wellington tribes, it has been broadcasting since 1993. Every year it holds a gala day, Te Rā o te Raukura. In 2004 this took place at Te Whiti Park in Lower Hutt, and the band Nesian Mystik (pictured) was one of the groups providing entertainment.
