Lou'ana is an award winning, audience mesmerizing, kiwi pacific artist from Auckland performing on Thursday, 4 December from 7.00pm - 7.45pm.

Rooted in nu-disco, soul, and funk, Lou'ana weaves nostalgic grooves with her own stories, creating music that moves through dance, liberation, and personal healing.

Lou'ana was raised in a musically rich environment, where Fleetwood Mac, Jimi Hendrix, and disco classics like Donna Summer's "Last Dance" were staples. "My family taught me to play music from the soul because it creates connection and healing," she says. "I love to create music that moves the soul, brings people to dance, and liberates the spirit - seeing people connect and feel liberated brings me so much joy."

Lou'ana is part of Auckland Live Christmas in Aotea Square 2025 - a free, all-ages celebration in the heart of Tāmaki Makaurau, running from Friday, 28 November to Sunday, 21 December 2025.

Over 24 days, Aotea Square comes alive with live music, circus, film, karaoke, toi whakaari (performance) and whānau-friendly fun, plus large-scale artworks including The Pavilion and four-metre-tall light installation The Neon Star by Angus Muir.
