RAROTONGA: Back from the brink...

Back from a family holiday with my wife and sons in Rarotonga...

Papa Mike Tavioni
We were on holiday but couldn't help but look into a bit of work while there.
Like all countries throughout the world - there are social issues that  need to be addressed and solutions investigated. We (both my wife and I) would like to be part of the solution to assist our Pacific Nations to disseminate information through music and workshops.

We have been doing this for awhile in other countries but not so much in the Pacific.  So our focus now includes our Pacific Nations - and about time - our bad! To say the least there is now more work to do - but that is all good with us.

Props out to Kevin and Papa Mike and the work that they are carrying out currently - brothers we will back to lend a hand. Thank you for taking out the time to meet with us.

GDub at 88FM Rarotonga
Props also out to the peeps that looked after us - Tini and the whanau at The Roadhouse, much love for the hospitality, REHAB - looking forward to kicking it at your spot D, 88FM - thanks for your time GDub, we will be back soon, Pacific Resort Rarotonga for the day trip, that was quite possibly one of the dopest experiences of all our travels - peeps check the Lagoon Cruises - they rock and the kids had a ball!

Snorkelling at the Pacific Resort Rarotonga
Right now we are back on the grind as usual, finishing this album and embracing our NZ winter. Be back at you soon with the next release - Superhuman featuring the Mint Chicks, shot on location in Krung Thep (Bangkok) and edited by super talented Macedonian Aleksander. Peace!
