About
Produced by Tony Silbery, this CD of native bird song from Pukaha/Mount Bruce takes the listener on a melodic voyage from one dawn to another. The waiata (track 3) was composed and recorded by Rangitaane O Wairarapa especially for this project. It pays homage to the now extinct Huia, a native of Pukaha/Mount Bruce last seen in the Tararua forest in 1907. The concept, music and words are by Mike Kawana. "Pukaha: songs from the forest" won the Conservation Initiative Award at the 2002 Wellington Conservation Awards.
