Aotearoa is the contemporary Maori language name for New Zealand - land of the long white cloud.  It is home to the biggest ethnic Polynesian population in the world.

May wife and I had the pleasure of travelling close to 5000 kilometres on the roads, trails and waters of Aotearoa including North Island, South Island and Stewart Island. Spectacular view scapes were literally everywhere. Maori is the second official language and the people are very proud of the land they care for.

This program is part 1 of 2 and will share some of the music we learned about on our travels.
