Band & Musician News - Groove Incorporated Release 'Aotearoa Reggae'
28 November 2024 - 0 Comments
Aotearoa Reggae is the fourth single from Tāmaki Makaurau based Groove Incorporated. The track celebrates and traces the history of reggae music in Aotearoa, New Zealand. It captures the journey from the late 1970’s Jamaican-influenced sounds embraced by Māori and Polynesian communities, the socio-political and racial justice issues it helped address during the 1980’s, through to today’s festival-driven reggae scene, enjoyed by a wide audience.
The song features classic reggae elements: a steady “one drop” beat, authentic electric-guitar and piano skanks, a grooving organ bubble, and a street-inspired lead vocal supported by rich and soulful harmonies.
Aotearoa Reggae highlights not only the genre’s history, but also its role in advancing issues important to Māori.
