Music News - Moana & the Tribe feat. Skarra Mucci: 'Fire in Paradise'
01 June 2016 - 0 Comments
The latest single from Moana & the Tribe features Jamaican dancehall artist Skarra Mucci and was produced by Moritz von Korff; bass player with French reggae band Dub Inc. Fire in Paradise an infectious reggae single recorded across N.Z, Germany and France, will be launched on iTunes by DRM for NZ Music Month.
Fire in Paradise is a total remake of Whaura, a song Moana wrote in Måori as a tribute to the people of Timor-Leste for her 4th album. While the lyrics still refer to the Pacific, their meaning is more pronounced now given the rise of global conflicts.
Jamaican-born Skarra Mucci has lent his distinctive rich vocals to 5 solo albums including two top sellers - Return of the Raggamuffin (Album of the Year, France) and Greater Than Great (winner of Best Dancehall Album). The reggae/hiphop/R&B cross-genre artist has collaborated with the likes of Dub Inc, L'entourloop, Treesha, Soulforce, Lion D, Beenie Man and many more.
Moritz and Moana met each other when both Moana & the Tribe and Dub Inc played Womad NZ 2014. Moritz is a co-owner of Oneness Records, a label that works alongside some of the top reggae and dancehall artists in Jamaica and world-wide.
Moana & the Tribe released their album Rima in 2014. It was named a Top of the World Album (Songlines UK). The song Upokohue won 2nd place “World” of the International Songwriting Competition. They are now working on ONO, the 6th album.
