Hohou Te Rongo: Cultivate Peace (CD)

Description

Whirimako, of Ngai Tuhoe, Ngati Tuwharetoa, Ngati Ranginui, Kahungunu, Te Whakatohea, Te Whanau-a-Apanui, Te Arawa, and Ngati Awa descent, has performed throughout the country and has six solo albums to her credit.

Whirimako says the inspiration for this album came from her daughter, Mihi Ki Te Kapua. “My whanau (family) are my puna – my source,” she explains. “Each whanau member has a quality and values that fits in with me. In each area, they come through and tautoko (support) me. We all love music and I value all their opinions.”
