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