Suena Oro, a te reo Māori/Spanish fusion band from Whakatū/Nelson are bringing their psychedelic sonic experience to The Top of the South. Come and celebrate with us the release of our first EP. Te Marangai/Gente Colores consolidates the sound of Suena Oro and brings 2 reggae infused tunes that will heat up the dance floors this winter.

Whakatu’s fertile music scene has been ignited by Suena Oro’s hypnotic extended jams that touch on folk, reggae, drone-music and other broad genres, all the while keeping experimentation, improvisation and taonga pūoro at the core.
Suena Oro’s original songs draw inspiration from tangata whenuatanga, a rich depth of Spanish heritage and many years of experience at the coalface of various musical forms. The songs are vehicles for political and humanist perspectives riding dance-orientated grooves. Kanikani mai!
