THE MAORI FLUTE Kiwi EA-120 7in. 45 EP This is a singing-speaking record featuring Inia Te Wiata. It is subtitled The Hinemoa Legend in Song and Story. Side one features a specially adapted version of the legend of Hinemoa and Tutanekai from A. W. Reed's Myths and Legends of Maoriland. This is easily the best of Kiwi's attempts to feature Maori legends on record. Te Wiata's reading of the legend is rather low-key to begin with but with the arrival of Hinemoa at Mokoia the story is brought vividly to life by lnia's clever imitation of the voices of the various characters. Side two begins with New Zealand songwriter Willow Macky's plaintive The Maori Flute. Inia Te Wiata's singing is hauntingly evocative. The accompaniment is by the Cheeseman Strings with solo flautist Cyril Haworth. The Maori Flute is followed by Kingi Tahiwi's Tirohia ki Mokoia—which is more usually called The Hinemoa Chant.
Inia Te Wiata speaks a short introduction and then sings the chant without accompaniment. Inia Te Wiata is a fine singer and on this record he shows himself to be no mean storyteller.
