Māori-language punk band Half/Time will appear on the same bill as the Welsh-language post-punk band Adwaith this week at the Focus #Wales festival in Wrexham.

While the two cultures developed on opposite sides of the world, both are subject to colonial rule and have felt the pain of having their languages suppressed. The festival arrives amidst a surge of interest in both countries in learning their languages.
