Andrew McManus, the owner of Raggamuffin Fest NZ, explains the reason why Raggamuffin got moved from Rotorua to Auckland. This is a must listen so you know exactly why it happened. There's been a lot of negative chatty chatty by many know-it-all-experts as to what an expensive music festival should do. Well, well. Anyways, take a listen and take note so when you host a 10 year music festival in New Zealand you'll be better informed as to how you can keep it going. Big ups to Mai FM and DJ Sirvere for the interview. 

Plenty of good new tunes in this episode. We dig them all! Enjoy.

Ziggy Marley Is A Human (FREE DOWNLOAD 2017)

Happy new year whanau/family! Ziggy Marley has just released a new song, "I AM A HUMAN”, and he's made it free to download via Tuffgong Worldwide, here bit.ly/iamahuman.

Ziggy's message to us is:

"Please share it with as many as you can, do your part and know that no matter what, it is time for the vision of love, peace, equality, justice and our true human potential to be the reality. Listen out for more new music soon. Love #IAMAHUMAN"

Here's my take on this ... I think its great how Ziggy is able to use his talents, fame, fortune, and the support of others to promote 'positive vibrations'. And if you're waiting for my 'but', I'm sorry there isn't one. If he has a political agenda I'm not aware of it (even though I've heard it said, 'everything is political'). Ziggy is talented and good on him for putting this message out there.

What I find interesting is how over time one generation's focus can change to something different for the next generation. It was only 40 odd years ago that Ziggy's father, Bob Marley, was singing (or preaching - call it what you like) about being a Rebel, a Rastafarian, and a Revolutionist. All things seemingly denounced in this new song by Ziggy Marley. 

Truth: we don't have to be like our fathers, we have freedom to chart our own course in life.

Run run as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm a ginger beer man! It's not where you place in the race, its how you run the race to the end and how you stop along the way to help people that makes you truly great. I'm reminded of whats really important through the example of my brother, Jason Taiapa, and his team mate, Rob Tongotea, who ran the New York City Marathon on 6th November. They were prepared to smash it but choose to hang with a struggling team mate, Nu'umoe G Collins, to see her over the finish line together. Well done guys! Heres a tribute to you and all those that ran the NYC Marathon 2016. Run Run Rudy!

Notable alumni, all musicians, include: the four founding members of the Skatalites (Tommy McCook, Johnny “Dizzy” Moore, Lester Sterling and Don Drummond), Dizzy Reece, Cedric Brooks, David Madden, Theophilus Beckford, Rico Rodriguez, Yellowman, Vin Gordon.

Kingston, Jamaica’s legendary Alpha Boys’ School, a school for disadvantaged youth that has been a powerhouse in training reggae musicians, is seeking funding for a radio and music studio and media lab to be constructed on the campus of the historic school in the summer of 2014. I catch up with Trace Mamoun, project manager, to hear how a girl from Paris gets to be in Jamaica helping youth shes never met before and hear all about the ins and outs of the project. With only minutes left to pledge your support I urge you to consider giving generously to this worthy project (see link below for details). All the music in this episode, except the track by Toots, features ex-pupils of Alpha Boys School. Enjoy!
