It's a pleasure to present the stunning new album from Ria Hall, Manawa Wera!
Manawa Wera presents a classic reggae/soul sound in a modern Aotearoa context. Co-written & produced by Laughton Kora, the album also features an all-star reggae band including Ara Adams-Tamatea (L.A.B.), Wiremu Barriball (Katchafire), & Zane Graham (Sons of Zion, The Wailers). Guest horns arranged and lead by Warren Maxwell (Trinity Roots, Little Bushman) appear, with percussion by Riki Gooch (Trinity Roots, Eru Dangerspiel). Backing vocals are gifted from Hall’s close comrades Troy Kingi & Rob Ruha. All recorded live in studio, each player brings their unique feel and experiences to the release.
Featuring artwork by the incredible Robyne Kahukiwa, Manawa Wera is out now to stream & purchase using the below links. With thanks to the whānau at New Zealand on Air & One Love.
