We’re off to the historic grounds of a former winery, the Corban Estate Arts Centre located in the heart of west Auckland. Join us from 5pm for a mix of funk, R&B, pop, and dance music featuring a back-to-back set from Te Reo artists Rei and Huia, followed by funk-soul legends Big Tasty.
Rei (Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Pākeha) is the next generation of Aotearoa bilingual artists, fusing international sounds into urban and electronic bangers. With multiple Waiata Māori Awards and NZ Music Awards nominations, Rei is carving out his space by constantly innovating. He's joined by Huia, whose music features electronic beats, organic percussion, and deep harmonies with conscious lyrics in Te Reo Māori and English, moving from ambient tunes to dancehall bangers.
Bringing the funk out of the trunk are Big Tasty, an electrifying eight-piece funk and soul band. They captivate the crowd with their classic funk and authentic Aotearoa sounds, inspired by legends like Earth Wind and Fire and Stevie Wonder.
