SUMMARY:Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 @ Auckland Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:Seun Kuti is a Nigerian musician\, singer\, and songwriter renowned for his captivating performances and socially conscious music. He is the youngest son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti. Seun has spent most of his life preserving and extending his father’s political and musical legacy as the leader of his father’s former band Egypt 80. As a developing saxophonist and percussionist\, he entered the formal ranks of the band before he was 12. In 1997 when Fela passed\, in fulfilment of his father’s wishes\, Seun assumed the mantle as head of Egypt 80 and he has run it ever since. As a musician and pan-African activist\, Seun has been involved in a number of campaigns in recent years\, including #OccupyNigeria and #EndSARS – a social movement against police brutality in Nigeria. Significantly\, he’s revived the Movement of the People (M.O.P.)\, the political party his father set up in 1979\, which was quashed by the military government not long after Fela’s failed presidential bid. \nDuring his career\, Seun Kuti released other 4 albums with Egypt 80: ‘Many Things’ (2008)\, ‘From Africa with Fury: Rise for Knitting Factory Records’ (2011)\, coproduced by Brian Eno and John Reynolds\, ‘A Long Way Beginning’ (2014) and the Grammy nominated ‘Black Times’ (2018) that included a feature from Carlos Santana. He also released numerous EPs. In 2022\, Seun Kuti joined forces with Roots frontman and MC extraordinaire Black Thought in the EP ‘African Dreams’. In 2023\, he collaborated on Janelle Monae’s ‘The Age of Pleasure’ (Grammy nominee for Album Of The Year) with the two singles ‘Float’; and ‘Knows Better’;\, teamed up with Talib Kweli and MadLib for their album‘Liberation 2’ on the song ‘Nat Turner’ featuring Cassper Nyovest and released a new version of the single ‘Bad Man Lighter’ with Black Thought\, featuring Vic Mensa. \nSeun Kuti has started a side project\, which looks to Afrobeats music\, with his alter ego BigBird\, together with Nigerian rapper Vector\, releasing the singles “OOP (S)” with Odumodublvck and “The Matter”

SUMMARY:Rainberry Pie @ The Bunker
DESCRIPTION:The core of Rainberry Pie is the sometimes edgy\, sometimes dulcet\, and always enchanting vocal harmonies of Deborah Mackenzie and Micheal Young. The vocals are backed up by a well defined acoustic instrumental groove. Not willing to be constrained to a narrow genre\, Rainberry Pie explores many acoustic styles from alt-country\, western swing\, bluegrass\, and pop\, all while maintaining a cohesive and distinctive Rainberry sound. Deborah plays percussion. Micheal plays guitar. David Blackman provides tasty fills on fiddle and mandolin while Cathy Dyer lays down a solid foundation on double bass.\n\n\nThere will be floor singers in the first half of the night. Rainberry Pie will perform in the second half.

SUMMARY:Vai Mai Natana @ Whangateau Folk Club
DESCRIPTION:Folk duo Mema and Nathan Boston delivers an exceptional music experience that you will feel at your very core as this is where they express from. They focus on acoustic arrangements of Mema’s original works with the odd quirky cover all delivered with the sincerest of love for sharing their craft. Musically\, it’s kinda like The Rescues formed a love triangle with Leonard Cohen and Andres Segovia. It is a most delicious blend of quirky beauty that will make you laugh and probably cry in the same night. Expect soaring vocals with carefully placed guitars supporting poetic lyrics in the sincerest of love for sharing music with you. \nDoors open at 6:45. Floor singers first half.
