It was truly our honour and priviledge to release our latest single at Te Ahurei o Tūhoe 2011. We also had on stage live with us, Jamey Ferguson and Hani Totorewa from Katchafire and what an priviledge to be playing and singing on the same stage as these two NZ reggae greats. Huge shout out of love and blessings to you both for your support for this very special release of Rua Kenana. We also had the pleasure of meeting one of Rua Kenana's mokopuna, tena koe nan, and great grand mokos... WOW aye.... humbling hard out! We love you all Tūhoe Nation. See, you all in Whakatane at the Comm on August 13th.
