Ipu
A unique ensemble employs pre-European Maori instruments as well as piano, cello and voice. Performers include: Judy Bailey, Richard Nunns, Tungia Baker, Georg Pederson.
Based on a story by Tungia Baker, literally an Ipu is a gourd, for carrying food and goods.
Accordingly Ipu korero denotes a story-teller, someone who 'carries' stories. The Ipu is also employed, as heard here, as a musical instrument. From this vessel flows the musical threads of two cultures, Maori and Pakeha, and a poetic love story
"... a finely meshed collaboration...A stunning vista is revealed...A potent mix."
