Aloha, I'm a Kiwi artist in that has lived here in Hawaii for 20+ years. I saw Herbs play when I was a teen at the Mount main beach BOP NZ in 1987 or 86. Good times and love the music. Any way I've got a question. About a song. Long Ago. In the beginning of that song there's a Maori Lady Chanting. That chant has stuck with me since I was a kid. I listen to it over and over and never get tired. It has fueled alot of my art work. Who is it? and what is she saying. lol. I love this piece and the chant takes me deep into nature. I've been looking through Maori Chants to find something similar but cant find a thing. Help me out Herbs, or any one out there. Mahalo Nui Loa.

according to Glen (cheers!) from the first link above:
"Karanga Ra written by Miro Hawke and Herbs mainstay Dilworth Karaka, and as far as I know it is performed by Miro Hawke."
Dilworth told the 'NZ Herald' back in 2002, "We took some flak from the traditionalists over putting the karanga on the front of it because they were quite concerned that we had awoken the spirits. But as I said to them then we did it with the utmost respect and we wanted to take our Polynesian culture with us. We had Samoans, Tongans, Cook Islanders and Maori in the band and we are all of the Pacific Ocean. We wanted to call the album Brothers In Arms of the Pacific, but then another famous band used that name so we steered clear of it."
