Are you a fan of Michael Franti, Xavier Rudd? Nahko is coming!
This is so good! Mega-good! The songs, the videos, the vibe, and also a fierce, intense revelation (definitely live, see: their AB support-act in April '15 for Groundation).
But fans of Michael Franti or Xavier Rudd and other dreads will also find something to their taste here.
Nahko is a tight American band with diverse roots. Nahko Bear is the fantastic frontman and, in full, they are revealingly known as Nahko and Medicine For The People.
'World music' is what they call this, or also 'real talk music', whereby Nahko sometimes borrows appropriate phrases from a fellow man: 'The universe is a beautiful place and often brings us challenges that we must overcome in order to grow. Through facing these challenges we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and we develop gifts that we must share with the world…'
Cool! Super cool!
