Pacific Roots South a celebration of local reggae bands as well as special guests from Dunedin – ‘Koile, kicks off an annual event of summer sounds in the winter, presented by Pacific Underground. Held next Saturday 11 July at The Bedford, from 8pm til late, Pacific Roots South also launches with a long awaited return of old school, R&B, Hip Hop and Soul DJ’s Ali & Soul Master Cee.
‘Koile who are regular participants of the annual Pacific Arts Festival here in Christchurch last appeared at The Bedford’s first gig in February this year, supporting legendary NZ icons of Reggae – Herbs. Their energetic sound of the Cook Island, Tokelauan and Samoan laced with log drums, congas and ukulele brought a true island flavour to the venue, a sound that will be delivered once again at Pacific Roots South.
