The Best of Brother Love
. . .
A meeting place for news and grooves featuring Rahui Vaka, this Brother Love site celebrates a Polynesian soulster, akateni impresario, and all round fun kuy.
Love!
Brother Love is reknown across the Pacific, from communities in the Papua New Guinea, across to Rapa Nui, Easter Island, thousands of kilometres to the East.
His unique sound first became known through a string band competition started in the early 1990s by a former manager of the legendary Banana Court bar, Tim Buchanan.
That seminal influence spawned a resurgence of interest in raw, stripped-back natural sounds of Polynesia after the electronica-saturated ditties of the 1980s.
Starting with the Sunset Special, the artist formerly known as Ra Vaka was reborn Brother Love, capturing a whole new audience, lyrics always blue.
