‘Change Is In The Air’ the latest single off of Manoa's new EP released in 2019, embodies the message of cultural transformation toward a regenerative society and features Bobby Alu (Xavier Rudd, Oka) on drums. The music video was shot live at Island Elements Festival and the Pacific Earth School on Stradbroke Island, Australia and is reminiscent of Manoa's early musical experiences, growing up sailing around the Caribbean islands, soaking in the island rhythms.
Manoa has shared his music at a range of folk festivals including Splendour In The Grass (2016), Mullum Music Festival (2019), Earth Frequency Festival (2020), and Wallaby Creek Festival (2019). He has supported and played alongside roots artists including Dustin Thomas (USA), Caravana Sun, Oka, Nicky Bomba and Murray Kyle.
