This week's PBS Feature Album is Te Whare Tīwekaweka, the fourth album from Marlon Williams. Over fourteen original songs, performed entirely in Te Reo Māori, Marlon explores newfound lyrical honesty and a grand sonic vision. When Marlon was having difficulty writing an album in English, he found that switching to his other ancestral tongue, which while not fluent, unlocked a new means of self-expression and felt like an important act of reclamation.
From Asian pop to dub and reggae, indigenous hip-hop to Balkan beats, African rhythms to Arabic influence, vibrant Latin flavours to folk music from across the globe, and incredible eclectic fusions from disparate cultures, PBS brings our musical world to you.
