Musician sings Occupy-inspired protest song to the world's leaders

Hawaiian musician, Makana, was invited to perform some pleasant background music for the summit of APEC, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, which included the presence of Barack Obama. Makana, who had recently recorded a protest song inspired by the Occupy Movement and the greed of Wall Street, decided to sing his song for the leaders of the world's economic powers. He ended up singing the song for 45 minutes, yep, forty-five minutes.

Here is the music video:


Here is a video Makana posted that speaks to his conviction to sing the song:
