Kaha the name.

After 6 years of performing in Europe (as cultural ambassadors), New Zealand and Queensland, The Hunt Brothers and cousin Haimona Simon Peeti (who is no longer with Kaha) relocated to Adelaide, South Australia.

In 1998 their first gig was busking in Rundell mall, a place synonymous for starting out. By chance 'Vinx' of the American band "Jungle Funk" heard the brothers singing songs which reminded him of home. He invited them to sing with him that evening at his concert. The drummer for "Jungle Funk", Will Cahun (also with "Living Colour") in order to introduce them, asked the Brothers what their bands name was. Thinking on their feet one quickly replied "The Kaha Brothers" that name gave birth to both the name and band Kaha. At the concert the Adelaide crowd loved them and from here they progressed in quantum leaps.

Finally returning home & will be performing with local group "Ethnic Roots" who are also working hard to get their Gissy vibe out there. Don't miss this rare opportunity to hear some of the finest talent born & bred here in Turanganui....
