MayDay Concert 2013 - Moana Maniapoto

Aotearoa New Zealand’s

MayDay Concert 2013

Celebrating International Workers Day

A great night of fun and solidarity in the form of song, music, dance and performance art from community groups and individuals throughout New Zealand and beyond.

For singer/songwriter and New Zealand Art Laureate Moana Maniapoto, it is passion and politics that informs her writing. Her music is at times stirring & militant, poignant & sensual, but always - unmistakenly from New Zealand. Joined by Cadzow Cossar and Paddy Free, Moana will perform an intimate set that will pay tribute to those who fought and continue to fight for workers rights.
