Event Description
REIKI RAUWAI Live at The Tanuki Lounge









Live from Aotearoa, The Tanuki Lounge presents a night of pure Groove, Soul and Roots... Introducing the incredible sounds of Reiki Ruawai (Masaya), perfroming with a full band.

 

Vocalist and Guitarist Reiki Ruawai, (son of NZ reggae powerhouse CornerStone Roots) came to prominence with his band MASAYA - their debut 2019 EP, 'TONGUE & GROOVE' featured soul bangers Soda Dreams and Jamma which saw the ensemble resonating with live audiences and festival circuits.

 

The narrative further enriched with singles like Mung Bean, Ride wit Us, and Attention, setting the stage for their debut album, 'Chronicles of Youth', under the nurturing banner of Rafiki Ltd, distributed via The Orchard/Sony. This album, a melodic narrative of youthful whims and modern-day musings, propelled Masaya on a nationwide tour across the Kiwi lands, serenading the winter with their indie-groove spells​

As the sun cast longer shadows, Masaya hopped across the Tasman Sea, joining forces with the reggae legends Katchafire on their Australian tour. The camaraderie transcended the Pacific, echoing through Byron Bay, the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, and the euphoric vibes of Island Vibe on Minjerribah (Stradbroke Island)​

 

The Aussie chronicles continued with a spectacular collaboration with L.A.B in their 2023 Australian tour. As Spring blossomed, Masaya, along with Summer Thieves, resonated as special guests, adding a unique Kiwi flavor to the musical fiesta at Belvoir Amphitheatre, WA, and other Australian cities, celebrating L.A.B’s chart-topping single 'Take It Away' and their impending sixth album​​.

 

Catch the soul phenomenon that is Reiki Ruawai Friday September 6th at the Tanuki Lounge!
