Nau Mai E Kā Hua

An evocative sonic journey through the pristine waters of Te Wai Pounamu, Nau Mai e Kā Hua, is the first duo album by Ariana Tikao and Al Fraser, two leading players of ngā taonga puoro. The album features improvisations and spoken word, with waiata and the expressive voices of ngā taonga puoro interwoven like the strands of braided rivers.
