Nga Pihi is a unique and treasured musical initiative focused on creating and performing Maori songs that cater specifically to children. The essence of Nga Pihi's music lies in its ability to preserve and propagate the Maori language and culture among the younger generations, thereby nurturing a strong cultural identity from an early age. The group's name, 'Nga Pihi,' translates to 'The Seedlings,' which aptly reflects their mission of planting the seeds of Maori heritage into the hearts and minds of children.

Their discography is both educational and entertaining, consisting of a series of albums named "Nga Pihi 1" through "Nga Pihi 4," with titles like "Maori Stories & Songs for Children" and "Taku Mei Ao - Maori Songs for Children." These collections feature a harmonious blend of traditional and contemporary Maori music, and they are imbued with values, teachings, and narratives significant to the Maori community. Through their engaging performances and recordings, Nga Pihi has become a beloved cornerstone in the realm of indigenous children's music in New Zealand, helping to keep the Maori language vibrant and accessible for the youngest members of the community.
