High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rua is the second album by New Zealand hip-hop group, Moana and the Moahunters. Released in 1998, the title comes from the M?ori word for "two". Moana and the Moahunters (and successor group Moana and the Tribe), was a M?ori hip-hop group from New Zealand, led by singer Moana that actively promoted M?ori culture, traditions and history through their music. Moana's first release was a 1991 12" single, "AEIOU(Akona Te Reo)”, which translates as “Learn the Language”. The song was a plea for the Maori youth to work actively to preserve their culture, learn about their history and keep traditions alive by learning the language. The song combined rap, which had recently become popular in New Zealand, with traditional Maori songs, which not only showed the increasing localization of rap in New Zealand, but was used to attempt to appeal to the Maori youth to encourage them to study their own culture and not simple blend into the growing global culture. The song was nominated for several awards in 1991 and again in 1995, after it was remixed.
