Two widely disparate acts are featured tonight at the First Nations Pavilion at the Vancouver Olympics.

Kinnie Starr (video above), who is of Mohawk and European heritage, performs her blend of hip-hop and alternative songs. Her music has been performed on the TV show “The L Word.” Read an interview with her here, and check out her MySpace page here.

Then there’s Soul Paua (video below), who’ve come all the way from New Zealand to perform their contemporary music with Maori and Polynesian influences. You can find out more about them on their Web site.
