The Hot 8 Brass Band - 'Sexual Healing (Official Video)' [Marvin Gaye Cover]
Direct from the streets of New Orleans, the raucous
and joyful Hot 8 Brass Band has re-cast traditional marching band jazz with
funk, R&B and hip-hop. Over 20 years of leading community parades, funeral
processions, street parties and concerts, the band has endured great tragedies,
including the violent deaths of several members and Hurricane Katrina, but they
have emerged triumphant.
Live - Inna Modja "Boat People" - 2016
Having been encouraged to sing by Salif Keita, the
multi-talented Inna Modja is carving out a unique path on the world stage. Her music is an alluring mix of desert blues,
electronica and hip-hop with hard-hitting lyrics, set to a flawless
groove. She is outspoken on many of the
injustices facing African women but, ultimately, hers is a powerful and positive
vision for the future.
Lord Echo - Molten Lava (Official Music Video)
New Zealand producer and multi instrumentalist Lord

flowing blend of boogie-laced Funk, disco-primed Reggae, futuristic Soul, and
timeless African rhythms.
Nattali Rize & Julian Marley - Natty Rides Again
Best known as the dynamic front woman of roots

new-conscious reggae project. With a renewed focus and energy after
spending time living in Jamaica, Nattali and her Jamaican-international band
are ready to unleash their debut album of uplifting and thought-provoking
music.
Parov Stelar - Booty Swing
Austria’s electro-swing band Parov Stelar, fronted by
singer Cleo Panther, will make their New Zealand debut exclusive to WOMAD
NZ. Their insanely catchy music that has
been used in advertising campaigns across the world with joyous horns and
sophisticated style, has the sass and panache of 1920s cabaret, with modern-day
dance floor appeal.
