Shot Notes
This is Nahko and Medicine For The People playing a moving and high energy set on the Mojo stage of the Byron Bay Bluesfest in Australia. They are a world music collective which blend Reggae, Dub and Hip Hop with a message of humanitarian and environmental harmony. I got hooked on their tunes a few weeks before the festival thanks to a 2016 Bluesfest playlist which had been assembled on Pandora. The stage performance confirmed this is a special band worth checking out. (image download here)
UPDATE: Nahko will return to the festival in 2025, tickets are available via the Bluesfest Website.
UPDATE: In 2026 Bluesfest will be the last in a line of major festivals closed from increasing headwinds. This began before covid, with the previous state government’s legislative “war on festivals“. The new government risks letting this trend continue through inaction. #savebluesfest, international petition on change.org Sign up here.
AMAZING PICTURE! One of the best I have seen of Nahko and Chase! WELL DONE! WOW!
Thanks Bri
