Music of the New Zealand Maori

Kahurangi
Music of the New Zealand Maori
The Maori are the Indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand. Since the 19th-century European colonization, Maori musicians and performers have adopted many Western musical styles, most recently rock ’n’ roll, soul, and hip hop. Formed in the early 1980s to create employment opportunities for young Maori, Kahurangi is a touring Maori music and dance troupe presenting Maori performing arts in a dynamic and contemporary manner. Rather than using traditional Maori musical instruments, this recording features guitar, electric keyboards, and drums. Brief liner notes identify the musicians and songs.
