‘Waiata Maori’ The Editor, ‘Te Ao Hou’. Over the past years, though not always agreeing, I have appreciated the remarks of the record critic, Alan Armstrong. He has often shown a lack of musical background, but his desire to uphold the best in Maori culture I have never doubted. His criticism of the record Waiata Maori left me speechless. Some of the finest voices ever heard in New Zealand were on that record, with full marks to Inia te Wiata for his wonderful leadership. The only thing I could find wrong was a Maori phrase which should, or could have been deleted. Criticism of the Aotearoa Maori Group in conjunction with the National Band I thought was Iudicrous. I am sure that these two records will be acclaimed all over the world. The opportunity the Porgy and Bess singers and the Aotearoa Group received from the Opera and the National Band respectively is something denied them in the past. Be grateful Mr Armstrong for two very fine records. Enough said. NEGRO SPIRITUAL (Hamilton)
