Kanai Pinera is a pop musician and artist from Papua New Guinea.  

His "message song", Opareisen Rausim Kwik, is a very powerful track using Tok Pisin (broken English) and indicative of PNG Pop.  This song was released in the middle of the political chaos branded"Opareisen Rausim Kwik" that swept Port Moresby and parts of PNG for weeks. Radio stations across the country continually played the song which motivated Street kids, mothers, students and every ordinary citizen on the streets to protest against the government and sandline.
