2. Listen to another Aonua’s song and say which landscape features she mentions.

4. Do you agree? Express your opinion about the statements

  1. Aonua’s music is a blend of Polynesian instruments, vocals and native wildlife mixed with contemporary European sounds.
  2. Aonua’s music is energetic. It’s good for doing aerobics or jogging.
  3. Aonua’s music is spiritual. It might be good for relaxation and healing.
  4. Aonua always makes two versions of one song: one in Maori (to demonstrate its beauty), and another in English (so that listeners could understand its words).
