Golden Globe winner and co-founder of Dead Can Dance, Lisa Gerrard, creates the evocative soundtrack to the new film Whale Rider. Whale Rider is set in New Zealand and follows the story of a young, spirited Maori girl who becomes the natural heir to the leadership of her tribe. It is a contemporary tale of love, rejection and triumph as she strives to fulfill her destiny. Lisa Gerrard's soundtrack is as atmospheric and mesmerizing as we would expect. It works equally as an amazing soundtrack and the work of a long established artist with a dedicated audience who have followed her career on 4AD with Dead Can Dance and as a solo performer.
