mutual obligation

Would've meant paying me for my scripts, for my music and for the AMPP/Dakumentary. Without mutual consideration, there is no contract. As a result, I'm not doing a gig, and I'm not going to be persuaded to do a Māori songs pops gig. I refuse on principle, and that was never the intention of the concert. We're talking about a few instrumentalists and a few singers, not the orchestra. When I say 'concert party', I'm actually referring to a very specific style of concert that's essentially the forebear to modern kapa haka. https://open.spotify.com/album/1NZ1p3DaUugFFCUCevO96O?si=0dpvgfWZQMSblWrYuEIS4g https://chatgpt.com/share/6886a83b-3d50-8009-a350-530b4a834c08 If there was an all-Māori - or predominantly so - orchestra, then we'd be having an entirely different conversation. But with a bunch of foreign-born conductors, and orchestras that are largely built from Pākehā stock, it's a moot point. - Another mutual obligation would be to include me in your social lives, which nobody is. The politicians aren't, the musician's aren't, the media people aren't, so piss off. This Ruby King/Mari Hamunata thing is my ancestry, not yours. May seem fun from the outside, but it's much more difficult on the inside, as I've been spending all of the last week or so shoring up my connections to that iwi.
