about

2018 sees one of New Zealand's most established latin groups head in a new direction with a vibrant, upbeat version of a seminal track from Raphael Saadiq's debut solo album, Instant Vintage.
The percussion and keys driven cover of Skyy, Can You Feel Me, featuring Laughton Kora, will be released through Mucho Aroha Music on January 26 through iTunes, Spotify and Bandcamp.
The refreshing move from Auckland based Latinaotearoa, started by Brazilian DJ Bobby Brazuka and Venezualan songstress Jennifer Zea, follows their two original albums, released in 2013 and 2014. With traditional jazz trained musician Guy Harrison providing searching riffs on keys and Puerto Rican percussionist Miguel Fuentes driving the tempo with his congos, this New Zealand cover swings, struts and steps much more than the 2002 produced original. Singer Laughton Kora,from popular kiwi band of brothers, Kora, delivers the final layer of soul with his expressive lead vocals, intertwining with Jennifer Zea in a moving duet.
Skyy, Can You Feel Me, featuring Laughton Kora, is the first single from Latinaotearoa's upcoming third album. The new album, which features collaborations with some of New Zealand and Latin America's most respected musicians, pivots the band to pursue a more urban tangent. The yet to be named album features modern surrealist artwork from Japanese psych-pop artist Tokio Ayoma and is set to be released in June through Mucho Aroha Music.
