About
What the world needs now is more harmony, so Jubilation Choir and Tigilau Ness are bringing their show over the bridge to the mighty village of Takapuna; expect plenty of life-affirming, joyful vocal vibes, guaranteed to raise the roof!
The concert brings together Aotearoa reggae legend Tigilau Ness and Ponsonby’s own Jubilation Choir for a feast of gospel, blues, and reggae. Expect new choral arrangements of Tigi songs, as well as a curated selection of Jubilation songs, old and new. After sell-out performances in Grey Lynn and New Lynn in 2024, these artists are ready to share this Kaupapa with the rest of Auckland.
Tigilau Ness is a founding father of reggae in Aotearoa and has both a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Pacific Music Awards and a Tui for Best Roots Album from the NZ Music Awards.
Ponsonby’s own Jubilation Choir has been celebrating the naked human voice in all its glory since they got together 25 years ago to sing gospel, blues and soul. In recent years, they’ve branched out in the same way gospel left the fields and found a city groove, interpreting artists like Prince & Joan as Police Woman, and placing them comfortably alongside old gospel favourites such as Blind Willie Johnson, Thomas A Dorsey and that wunderkind ‘Trad’. It’s a groovy mix of the divine and the profane, the sweet and the raucous, Americana meets Aotearoa.
Don’t miss these artists as they join forces in songs of resistance, redemption and love.
