Introduction to Taonga Puoro: Nguru - nose flutes

Reo aroha

Nose flutes of all shapes and sizes appear throughout the Pacific, Southeast Asia, and Polynesia. The soft air blown through these instruments transforms into a gentle sound that calms the spirit and can be used to lull a baby to sleep or help us mourn the passing of a loved one. In this session, you’ll learn about the Nguru and its cousins across the Pacific, and you’ll hear how Jerome’s Nguru sings of a love that only a mother could know.

E mihi kau ana ki a koe Jerome mō tō pūmanawa me ō pūkenga e whakaatuhia ana i tō whakatangi i te Nguru.
