Sun Salute – No More

Funky, roots/reggae with conscious hip hop and an energetic live show make these guys stand firm in their powerful message.

Sun Salute has been developing a solid reputation as not only a amazingly fun live act but also a force of message and connection. Their energy on stage is infectious with their blend of classic reggae rhythms, dubs, solid grooves and jams. Sun Salute draw inspiration for their music from nature, travel and community; and seek to use the power of music for healing and change.

With their latest single "no more" calling on people to stand up for our precious mother earth. The song lends it's voice to the original people of the planet and to all those people around the world who's cultural values, sacred protocols and ancient voices have been shunned behind government & media corruption and misinformation.

Frontman, Tane Tokorangi from the North-East of New Zealand brings his connection to Maori culture to the stage. With an international line-up of members, each bringing their own unique influences, the group is on a mission to spread earth songs through music festivals and private events while touring extensively throughout the country. Sun Salute have delivered stand out performances at many festivals around Australia and continue to create a buzz at every festival they play.

Support:

The Twenty26 Dub Orchestra is an electro-soul duo straight out of Bondi Beach, Australia. The duo perform an interactive electronic live set by combining heavy beats, analog synth and digital string sounds with live guitar and vocals. Vocals are provided by soulful Māori singer Kane Pahau and beats and music production are the work of Cornishman Martin Bell. Drawing on inspiration from unusual places the pair tackle covers of Nina Simone's "Feeling Good"; Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "The Power of Love" and Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing" as well as their own original material.

Their music can be described as roots influenced with both musicians performing in reggae and dub bands over the last 10 years; but this latest work, however, is driving more into new ambient and electronic-soul territory. The pair have been performing together for over 5 years now and recently completed live acoustic sessions at the apex of the Sydney harbour bridge and festival appearances around New South Wales, Australia.
