Kora - UK Tour 2008
New Zealand's hottest export of 2008, Kora are a five-piece band made up of four Maori brothers and their adopted musical sibling, and are currently destroying the charts in their homeland on a scale not seen since Fat Freddy's Drop emerged. Hailing from Aotearoa, the four Kora brothers are Laughton on vocals, guitar and keys, Francis on bass and vocals, Stuart on guitar and vocals, and Brad on drums, alongside the only unrelated member Dan MacGruer on keys and bass.
Melding together influences from across the musical spectrum, including dub, funk, breakbeat, rock and blues, the band are renowned for their phenomenal live performances, oft described as The Prodigy meets Bob Marley and the Wailers, where solid vocal harmonies ride a powerhouse rhythm section, creating a sonic boom that can be heard as far away as Fiji.
After touring their asses off with Salmonella Dub and the afore-mentioned FFD across Australia, the band are now set to bring their inimitable ruckus to the UK this July to celebrate the European release of their album 'Kora' and single 'Flow'. As well as playing live on the main stages at WOMAD (July 26th) and The Larmer Tree Festival (July 19th) and two nights in Edinburgh, Kora will play their only London show of the year at Shepherd's Bush Empire on Friday July 25th, with support at all non-festival gigs from Yorkshire likely lads The Tivoli and turntablist extraordinaire Red.
