In the landscape of New Zealand music, one genre stands out as a solid cornerstone music by Maori artists.
Powerfully diverse, traditional music sun in Maori tongue has found a niche on mainstream radio and launched a depth of appeal to the commercial realm that was unexpected.
This popularity has enabled Indigenous singers to demonstrate their poetry and emotional relevance in an art form that now transgresses cultures.
One of the most distinctive, articulate and significant voices to emerge from this genre is Moana Maniapoto, whose politically conscious music has seen her perform at festivals around the globe.
Combining influences with her traditional instruments such as rock, soul, hip-hop and reggae, Moana has created her own stand-out style.
Shes been described as a truly inspiring performing and recording artist (The Beat, US, 2006) and has been credited as laying the foundations for the recent international exposure of New Zealand acts (Songlines, 2006).
Last year this multi-award winning artist and her band, The Tribe, made their debut Australian performance as part of the Australasian World Music Expo and so enamoured were audiences with her music that less than a year later this enigmatic performer is returning to Oz again.
My mountain meets your mountain, my river greets your river, my tribe greets your tribe Moana and The Tribe.
