Reggae band takes Wellington-Hutt

Otaki reggae band Te Paamu stood out with their Katchafire inspired sound. Guitarist Te Whaiao Manga (17) says the four guys practise in a shed at his family’s farm, so they called their band Te Paamu, which means ‘the farm’: “Our sound was just a bit different from the others on Friday night - we had a bit of energy and we really tried to get the crowd into our music.”
