Feel the beat as Aotea Square explodes with global rhythms – from the Caribbean to the Cook Islands.
Catch the Anuanua Dance Troupe with Cook Islands log drums and high-energy dance, then experience the power of Japanese taiko by Haere Mai Taiko, featuring works from Japan’s most celebrated composers. Move to the pulse of Steel’n Beats, blending traditional steelpan with Calypso, Latin, African grooves, and modern pop. Then immerse yourself in a carnival spectacular with Brazilian dancers, drummers and Capoeira performers blending rhythm, movement and energy by Samba Passion.
An afternoon of irresistible rhythms. Don’t miss a beat!
The full lineup and schedule will be dropping in January - stay in the groove!
