Afaese Manoa (1942-) is a Tuvaluan writer and musician.

National Anthem of Tuvalu

Manoa is the author of words and music to an anthem, 'Tuvalu mo te Atua', in the Tuvaluan language.

The English title of the anthem is 'Tuvalu for the Almighty'.

Offical Adoption by Tuvalu

In 1978, the year of Tuvalu's independence from the United Kingdom, Manoa's anthem lyrics and music were adopted as the national anthem of Tuvalu.

Along with other Oceanic writers, such as Joanne Gobure, of Nauru, his best-known writing evidences a strong sense of religious vocation.
