Album Notes

Description

Aonua is an original blend of Polynesian instruments, vocals and
native wildlife, mixed with contemporary European sounds with the
purpose of taking the listener away to a beautiful South Pacific
experience.

Listening to this music has been described as spiritual and healing.
You will be taken on an amazing journey of feelings and emotions,
to the idyllic island paradise of the South Pacific.

The lyrics are written in the languages of Maori (the indigenous people
of New Zealand) and English, so the listener can hear the beauty of the
Maori language while still understanding the meaning of the songs.

This album was recorded within a native forest of New Zealand.
