Description: | New Zealand roots musician Tigilau Neww has waited 27 years to release his first album. Born in Augkland to Niuean parents, the early part of his life was dedicated to protest. At 20, he joined the Polynesian Panthers, insisting that Maori and Pacific Islnders present a united front on issues of Maori sovereignty. In 1981 he was imprisoned after the South African Rugby tour protests. While in jail, Ness became a devout Rastafarian. He is also father to the rap artist Che Fu. |
