Birth, death and music

From RNZ Music, 1:15 pm on 9 January 2016

Music can be the powerful backdrop, foreground and sidekick to the big moments in life, and death. From the delivery suite to the grave, music can bring us into the world, and farewell our time in this mortal realm.

Yadana Saw talks to people's powerful experiences of music in their lives.
