Fat Freddys Drop - Dr. Boondigga & The Big Bw

NEW VINYL LP ON DROP 2009

180 GRAM VINYL.

This Maori/Samoan/New Zealander band claims influences as diverse as highlife, Berlin techno, and bhangra, but what their music sounds like most consistently is a strangely modern and soulful version of jazzy reggae. Lead singer Dallas Tamaira (aka Joe Dukie) has an airy, soulful voice that sometimes comes across like a more nimble version of Roland Gift's falsetto, while the band can shift with equal agility between house, dancehall, funk, and one-drop grooves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Freddy%27s_Drop
