Maya Piata

With a musical style inspired by her New Orleans Creole heritage, Ngāti Tūwharetoa whakapapa, African American, and Native American roots, Maya Piata will delight audiences with her unparalleled effervescence and vitality. For the Festival, she performs a mixture of original and well-loved songs in Aotearoa for the first time. Growing up in “The Big Easy” amidst a vibrant live music culture has impacted her career thus far and we can’t wait to share that energy and dynamism with Tāmaki Makaurau.

As well as the performance in the Spiegeltent in Aotea Square, these very talented artists (Maya Piata, Kulāiwi and Kaumakaiwa) will be in venues around Tāmaki Makaurau with our Indigenous Music on the Move series.
