Te Iti Kahurangi



Racing through New Zealand in December, I never saw Maoris sing, which was unfortunate, because I understand they have one of the world's best singing traditions.

I did pick up a CD from the year 1999 called "20 Favourite Maori Songs" by Maisey Rika, and I like those songs, including renditions of 'Unchained Melody' and 'Brahms Lullaby', but especially 'Po Atarau'.

Stumbling through YouTube, I see they like power choruses in New Zealand, like this one, singing "Te Iti Kahurangi".
