And now for something completely different...
This certainly got my blood flowing. I love the ancient Maori culture of New Zealand ever since Whale Rider and the behind-the-scenes material in the extras on the Lord of the Rings DVDs.
What I like about this video is the mix of the ancient and modern; a chorus of Maori singers and a full orchestra with Kiri Te Kanawa in the lead. It is quite loud so keep your hand on the volume control.
Powerful and uplifting, to say the least. Enjoy.

Wow! Rhythmically and melodically beautiful and powerful!
ReplyDeleteThis gave me chills. Kiri looks great and that vocal range is amazing.
