Once Were Warriors - What is the theme music called?

[Winston001]

Love that piece of music and I think it is played by a guy who is a guitarist in The Herbs.

Anyway haven't been able to find it to download - whats it called? Any ideas where to look?

here is what i've come up with just quickly

Tama Ranata was the guitarist. He used to play in a pub I worked at every Sunday night (on the wharf at Devonport), played that every week, amazing guitarist. He got offered to play overseas with the best, Clapton & the likes but turned it down to stay in NZ & be near the Whanau.

Thanks Dan, oddly enough when I searched about a year ago I couldn't find that CD. Anyway looks like it is simply called "Theme From Once Were Warriors" although I've got this sneaky feeling I downloaded that and discovered it was a different piece of music.

Cheers

Ok found it "Once Were Warriors (The Awakening)" and it is NOT the Theme music - that is a different track. Cheers.

I don't spend much time on Press F1 now but I reckon the bitch-fights they used to have there are so much worse than the ones that happen on KB.

In the movie, there's this scene where they're having a party and the guy with the guitar starts playing something funky. And someone says:

"Oh, don't play that shit, friend ... play something we all know."

I've always wondered - was the guitarist in the film the same guy who did the title music?
