Bailan (Kotahitanga) - Oriana Setz ft. Jake Kīanō Skinner (Official Video)

This beautiful bilingual song in Spanish and Te Reo Māori languages by Latin artist Oriana Setz was created as part of a collaborative project carried out with the support from the University of Canterbury Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha in Christchurch, New Zealand. The artist and a team of talented musicians, professionals and students from UC, and many enthusiastic people worked on this amazing multicultural project envisioned and coordinated by Victoria Escaip from the UC Spanish Programme. Bailan (Kotahitanga) celebrates diversity and togetherness, and honours the cultural exchange between Māori culture of Aotearoa New Zealand and Hispanic people & cultures.

The release of this song is just the first part of this project as it will be featured on the "Spanish Dance Video Project 2022", a project organised every year by the Spanish Programme of the University of Canterbury where Spanish language students and teachers from all over New Zealand dance together to a Latin song.
