8 piece Brisbane Polynesian ‘soul, reggae, dub’ band CHOCOLATE STRINGS are heading over the ditch and back to New Zealand, this time they bring their much anticipated follow-up album with a bunch of launches strung around the North Island.
Heading up their powerful vocal harmonies are three South Pacific Islander singers: Ofa Fanaika, Nia Falekakala and Nicole Loa McWalters from Tonga and Papua New Guinea respectively.
Their latest album represents exactly why CHOCOLATE STRINGS have become the go-to party starters and festival favourites – pulsing reggae grooves tapped with dreamy neo-soul arrangements all while strongly focused on melodic harmonies. This is the record those who have witnessed a Strings show have been itching for.
The Underscore Orkestra are a Balkan-Klezmer-Gypsy-Jazz-Swing and Belly Dance band both original and traditional who hail from Portland, USA.
Syncopated Rhythms and original dance vignettes. Guaranteed to get you up and dancing. It will put the p in your pistol and the zing in your zinger. Guaranteed to bost your bravado and perk your package, tempt your temptress with The Underscore Orkestra. An experience you have to see and hear to believe.
