Unparalleled effervescence and vitality

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. Check out the details for the show closest to you. Make some memories and enjoy authentic, vibrant music and arts close to home.

“Each song is a trip that sends listeners on an emotional rollercoaster and leaves them wanting more.”

Viberate

“Piata draws from her varied background to create a unique blend of sounds from her hometown, New Orleans, as well as her New Zealand roots. The result is music that can be classified as something between calypso and Afrobeat, with Piata's alluring voice as the star attraction.”

Dallas Observer

“Experience the engaging blend of Piata’s bright personality, sultry vocals, and captivating stage presence that has made her a beloved figure in the Dallas/Fort Worth music scene.”
