After a long hiatus, Te Henga Collective return from the blacks sands of Tāmaki Makaurau's west coast to share their new EP, Here & Now, releasing on September the 8th.
Here & Now is an honest snapshot of life and a heart-felt tribute to a friend. Reggae grooves, soulful harmonies and weighty guitar riffs - it’s a message of hope and acceptance, and a reminder of the importance of place, belonging and community.
