Raggamuffin is THIS Saturday - powhiri and programme

Our International bands - ZIGGY MARLEY, EDDY GRANT, ALI CAMPBELL (UB40),
SHAGGY, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, INNER CIRCLE – touch down in Auckland this
week and along with some of the NZ Raggamuffin bands, invited guests and
Dilworth Karaka of Herbs (who was involved in the influential welcome for
Bob Marley 30 years ago) will attend an official private powhiri hosted by
Ng
ti Wh
tua at Auckland's Museum this Thursday before making their way to
Rotorua. The welcome, on the eve of Bob Marley's birthday and Waitangi Day,
will recall the historic powhiri of 1979 that established lasting links
between New Zealand, Bob Marley and reggae.
The Raggamuffin festival features over nine hours or music, a kidzone,
village markets, buskers and performer's stage, cafes, bars and much more.
