Band & Musician News - Tama Waipara releases new single Medicine Man

Tama Waipara releases new single Medicine Man

22 March 2013 - 0 Comments

Tama Waipara releases Medicine Man – the first single and music video from his forthcoming album Fill Up The Silence.

Written by Tama Waipara, Medicine Man started out as a very different song about music being the medicine of life.

Says Tama of the final music and video “The core of the song and video is to find your voice, and to express yourself, in love and life.  It makes me think of Dylan Thomas’ “Do not go gentle into that good night, rage against the dying of the light…” It is also about looking towards the light and emerging from the darkness.  The thread of dance was always crucial to the video as an expression of freedom, joy and the universal bond of rhythm.”

Featuring dancers from Atamira Dance Company, Te Waka Huia and White Face Crew, the video was shot over several days in Auckland and directed by Jessica Sanderson who’s past work includes Kora’s Drop Dead Killer

The single was produced engineered and mixed by ex pat New Zealander Aaron Nevezie from Bunker Studio Brooklyn NYC who have previously worked with Questlove and The Black Keys.

Medicine Man is available on iTunes from today.
