Echoes from Hawaiki is a comprehensive account of taonga puoro ancestral musical traditions and instrument-playing techniques.
In this thoroughly researched and beautifully illustrated book, Jennifer Cattermole traces the origins and development of taonga puoro, the stories they carry and how they connect present-day iwi with ancestral knowledge and traditions. She shows how traditional Maori and Moriori musical instruments have developed in response to available materials and evolving cultural needs, from their ancestral origins through the suppression of their use in nineteenth and early twentieth-century Aotearoa New Zealand to twenty-first-century practice.
An essential resource for all who are interested in what taonga puoro carry as treasured objects and as voices through time and place.
