Ehara is a traditional song of the Maori, the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand. Arranger Brian Tate says "I was moved by the text, a universal theme that speaks of love, life, faith and hope being nothing new, but handed down from our ancestors. And I love the singing style - not only lyric and heartfelt, but also rhythmic, powerful, and insistent - a style that allows male singers a full range of expression."
