5.0 out of 5 stars Very Impressed!, July 29, 1999

This review is from: Maori Songs of New Zealand (Audio CD)

As a big fan of international music, I have to admit that I love Maori music. Anyone who knows about the Maori culture will agree that this is one CD that should be in their music library. These Maori songs talk about their culture, their way of life and nature. There is more to these songs than just listening for voices and/or instruments... it's about KNOWING what the songs mean!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing - the music overpowers the voices, July 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Maori Songs of New Zealand (Audio CD)

I was looking for some "a capella" singing but on this CD all the tracks are accompanied by a Hawaiian guitar combo which in places over powers the music.

A lot of the harmonies and features of the music had been cleaned up and sanitized for the western market. Sad really.

This review is from: Maori Songs of New Zealand (Audio CD)

I was looking for a CD that featured not only traditionalMaori songs, but also traditional Maori instuments. This CD has the songs, but the music is played by an electric guitar combo- no poi balls :(
