Moana: Cook Islands Action Song

Calm, gentle and unified, action songs are very different from the dynamic drum dances.
Moana means sea or ocean in Cook Islands Maori and is an often used theme in action songs. The arm and hand movements are describing waves, complimented by the slow sway of the hips.
