Tahi, Rua, and now Toru... The third album by Moana was as much influenced by Moana's visits to the Buddha Bar in Paris, as her continuing love of traditional Maori music.

"I heard very cool Indian and Arabic music mixed in with contemporary grooves - and that kind of fusion was what I started on my previous albums" says Moana.

So the traditional style of vocalising is predominant. But there is a definite R & B groove to 'Te Kohu' and "Hine Te Iwaiwa", which isn't surprising, given the producer (Tony Battle) and his L.A roots.
