Revival

Reggae has always had a special place in the heart of New Zealand music fans, with this country being among the highest consumers of reggae, and particularly Bob Marley (per capita New Zealanders have bought more Bob Marley albums than anywhere else in the world). Bands such as Herbs, Dread Beat & Blood and Aotearoa led the way during the 80s and influenced numerous current working bands (TrinityRoots, Black Seeds, Cornerstone Roots, etc). The latest of these to gain attention and release a debut album is Katchafire. You won t be disappointed with this soulful slice of homegrown reggae. MAI Music. 2006.
