Tangikahu: A CD recorded by Whirimako Black and Joel Haines. - Produced by Victor Stent and Chris Macro, Tangikahu comprises a collection of poems written by Whirimako's mother Anituatua Black and sister Rangitunoa Black and set to music composed by Whirimako and her sister, and subsequently arranged for these sessions by Joel Haines.
The album's concept involves taking the listener on an inspirational 'musical journey' into the Ureweras. The instrumentation and arrangement is consciously spare and ambient with just Joel Haines on acoustic guitar, voice and taonga puoro (traditional woodwind and percussion instruments), allowing the exquisite sound of Whirimako's rich and evocative vocals to flow around every note - and that's what makes this album such a highly satisfying acoustic experience.
Perfect for meditation and those quieter moments.
"...the sheer elegance of her stripped-simple melodies and her transcendant voice ... impossible to ignore."
"Black's voice is a rare and delicate instrument".
