GAHU Bring Their Jazz, Funk & Fire to First Night & Music in Parks

New Years Eve First Night World Stage - Lower NZI, Aotea Centre 10.40pm
Saturday 13th January Monte Cecilia Park, Korma Rd, Hillsborough 2 - 4pm.

GAHU present a new show featuring The Gahu Horns, Ghana Drums and Nastassia.

During 2006 GAHU performance highlights were: opening for James Brown in the Civic Theatre, playing to capacity crowds at the Queenstown Jazz Festival and over this New Year, a five day season at the Nelson Jazz Festival.

“GAHU - a Pacific/African pollination of grooves and melodies - with stunning interludes on the talking drum, brilliant guitar playing and just overall world class stuff. The band is so original and imaginative, and their arrangements so intelligent and interesting that they are a real pleasure to hear. Do catch them if you get a chance.”
Derek Jacombs www.kokomo-music.co.nz/news

“There is a dance and celebratory quality to Gahu’s music and audiences tend to go from toe-tapping to dancing in the aisles within minutes.Take your dancing shoes to this one.”
Graham Reid www.ViewAuckland.co.nz

The most recent GAHU album, ‘Shell Money’ was released in November 2005 to critical acclaim.

"Gahu are at once funky and immediate. Amazing Ghanaian rhythms are somehow given a Pacific R’n’B feel...this is work of continuing relevance.”
Mike Moroney NZ Musician

“It took time, but suddenly one day , I fell under its spell...A world class album, that transfixes and entertains”
Colin Morris Dominion Post

“Gahu stride between world music and jazz....with great energy, sociability and commitment...musically uplifting stuff."
Graham Reid NZ Herald

“...stunning musicianship and unique collision of rhythmic influences... the band blend their considerable African influence with a double shot of jazz improvisation... hot, steaming, high cholesterol funk,...virtuoso guitar work...the soaring horn section... the anchor like presence of the band’s rhythm section... unlike anything that most of you have ever heard. Definitely worth investigating."
Daniel Pilkington Groove Guide
