Maori Music And Musical Instruments
Maori Music dates back from the time of the first arrival of Polynesians to New Zealand. Their music became one of the dominant parts of the Maori art and culture. Before the first Europeans, Maori music was mainly sung, filled with blown, struck and whirled instruments.
digital art inspired by the Maori new year Matariki, and star cluster, also a dedication to the beauty that is our Maori wahine. I wanted to give the artwork a celestial feel, not like gods, but apart of the stars and systems, a synergy within. giving you that sense of scope and scale http://www.onesian.com

Pounamu (New Zealand jade) sculpture by New Zealand master artist Peter Bishop. These very stylised fish hooks represent strength, prosperity, abundance, fertility and a great respect for the sea. It also is said to provide good luck and safety when traveling over water so is often worn by travellers. Hei-Matau are also symbols of power and authority which are held in great reverence by the Maori people. From the Featured Artists galleries at The Bone Art Place.
