Acclaimed New Zealand combo SOLA ROSA are bringing their special blend of hip hop, reggae, jazz, Latin, soul and funk to the U.S. for the first time.
SOLA ROSA’s debut North American album, Get It Together, was released in October 2011, and already garnered a mention in the Village Voice, and praise for Pop Matters and Baeble alike. In New Zealand, the album has stayed at #1 for over four months.
SOLA ROSA frontman Andrew Spraggon ignores the niceties of genre boundaries and opts instead to blend his diverse influences into an otherworldly aural experience. Since 1999 he has been honing his craft by keeping good company on the road and in the studio, eventually earning himself a nomination for Best Producer at the Vodafone NZ Music Awards in 2006 and 2009. Get It Together was nominated for Best Electronica Album, and the album’s second single, ‘Turn Around’, was nominated for Best Video.
