"Pukaha
-
songs
from
the
forest”
takes
the
listener
on
a
melodic
voyage
of
bird
song,
from
one
dawn
to
another.
It
captures
a
forest
lost
in
time,
and
another
whose
promise
is
yet
to
be
realised.
The
CD
comes
with
an
informative
48
page
colour
book,
which
includes
the
history
of
Pukaha
Mount
Bruce
and
a
storyline
so
you
can
follow
the
birdsong.
It
also
contains
photographs
of
all
the
birds
featured
and

proverbs)
about
them
The
three
birdsong
tracks
feature
birds
native
to
Pukaha
Mount
Bruce,
and
are
uninterrupted
and
true
to
how
life
in
the
forest
sounds.
The
quality
of
the
recordings
will
surprise
you
and
have
been
described
as
“‘stunning”,
and
“unequalled
in
New
Zealand”.
“Pukaha”
also
includes
a
waiata
composed
and
recorded
by
Rangitaane
O
Wairarapa
that
pays
homage
to
the
now
extinct
huia,
a
native
of
Pukaha
Mount
Bruce
last
seen
in
the
Tararua
forest
in
1907.
