"Fusion/Urban/HipHop" Music Listings

Masef Masef.
Music & Soul.
Joe Amstad is the mastermind behind this four piece band and is the songwriter that leads this talented group of musicians playing a fusion of reggae tinged with funk, rock, soul and hip hop vocals. The music is original and written so we can all relate to the stories. George Westrupp lays the foundations with drums. Helen Carter plays saxophone, Camina Chin lays the fat, funky bass lines, and Joe plays the guitar skank licks and provides the lead vocals. Real Love is their signature track and you can't help but want to move to this. "Masef stand for 'Music and Soul equals Freedom'. It's not a reggae album but an organic fusion of the bands musical influences arriving ready for summer. An essential purchase to add to your Kiwi collection" Rob McGreggor, Wanaka Sun, December 2007.
