Click to enlargeMaori Chants  The sound of native New Zealand.
To visit New Zealand and not hear or see a Maori war chant -
Haka, is virtually impossible. The haunting and powerful haka is
an experience not soon forgotten. From powerful vibrations
created by stomping feet, to the flexing and tearing of hand and
body movements to the unforgettable intensity of facial and
wide-eyed stares, the haka is culture staring right at you. This
collection is a pleasant listen, with the wonderful Polynesian
beat and delightful singing and chanting. Includes 18 different
chants and songs. An excellent overview of the Maori musical
tradition.  1. Whakatongo Ki Te Reo   10. Tangihia 2. E Rere E
