The Yoots

From New Zealand

Hopepa, trombonist of Fat Freddy's Drop, enlists the unparalleled talents of Toby Laing, Mike Fabulous, P.K. Hoskin, the Yeabsley brothers, Craig Poll, Iain Gordon, Lucien Johnson, Will Ricketts, Sam Lindsay, and Adam Tiierina to give birth to The Yoots.

Combining calypso-ska, country-soul and heaven, The Yoots capture the essence of Maori waiata in entirely unexpected and delightful ways.
