Here's a rare slice of mid-Eighties pop from Moana and produced by Dalvanius and Ryan Monga, with harmonies from Ardijah and keyboards played by Simon Lynch. Kua Makona, with te reo-sung lyrics denouncing drink-driving, was another fearless step in the trailblazing career of Moana Maniapoto Jackson, who'd recently left the politically-charged Wellington-based group Aotearoa, and would go on to form the highly successful Moana and the Moahunters.
