Puna Ora by Aro
Puna Ora, plays on the richness of the word puna - as it flows through mokopuna and tūpuna. The waiata reflects on how each mokopuna is a union of the many beautiful puna they come from, becoming tūpuna themselves, in turn, a source, a puna of great things, both tangible and intangible, visible and invisible, but always deeply felt.
“The song is about awakening that inner puna ora, that living spring inside us that connects us to our tūpuna, our tamariki, and to something beyond what we can see.”
