Maori singing sensations Maimoa will perform at the Mataatua Kapa Haka
Festival this weekend.

Last year they knocked Justin Bieber off the iTunes NZ Music Charts and have played at a number of sold out music festivals across New Zealand, recently playing to a capacity crowd at New Zealand's largest reggae festival, One Love.

Maimoa Collective are a group of 12 young Maori artists "with an aspiration to
inspire future generations".

Ngati Awa Ki Rangitaiki Organising committee chairman Charlie Elliott said the
excitement was brewing and the addition of Maimoa to the lineup was welcoming.

"We are looking forward to having Maimoa join us. They will bring a different
audience to the event."

The Mataatua Kapa Haka Festival will take place over two days, attracting nearly
15,000 people, featuring some of the best Kapa Haka teams from across the
Mataatua Rohe, competing for their chance to represent Mataatua at next year's
Te Matatini Competition in Wellington.

"This is a festival for everyone, a true celebration of Mataatua, with food, arts and
crafts stalls, free amusement rides and activities for the Tamariki, plus all the
haka" Elliott said.

Tickets are on sale now: www.mataatuakapahaka.co.nz
