"Pōkarekare Ana" is a traditional New Zealand love song written in Māori ... it emerged during the First World War - it is not really known who composed it - but it has been embraced by New Zealand ... and indeed the world as one of the most beautiful melodies. I hope you enjoy my piano version from my new album "Lest We Forget" (for Anzac Day 2025)
