Elena

This self titled album from Wellington violinist Elena combines Maori Waiata with European compositions and Latin American rhythms designed to break down the musical barriers between these diverse disciplines.

This from the artist:

"...I've combined Kapa Haka and classical music to encourage young people to extend their musical horizons - for young Maori to listen and appreciate classical music and for mainstream audiences to hear Maori music in a new way"

"The arrangements show how we can interpret music and enjoy the passion of other cultures, while we develop our own culture and keep it alive."
