Chosen to perform at a dinner hosted by President Barack Obama, and attended by Chinese President Hu Jintao, Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and other world leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, Hawaiian singer Makana entertained the diners with a protest song in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
The refrain of the song is “We’ll occupy the streets; we’ll occupy the courts; we’ll occupy the offices of you; till you do the bidding of the many, not the few.”
Makana (born Matthew Swalinkavich) performed the song for about 40 minutes. However, observers said that President Obama and his wife, Michelle, appeared too involved with their guests to notice the song’s lyrics.
