BLUE KING BROWN – BIO

http://www.myspace.com/bluekingbrown

Underscored by the fiery vocals and political lyrics of Natalie Paapaa, you can hear the afro-beat, reggae, world and Latin influence, but the band has created a distinctly original sound. A refreshing take on roots music, uniquely Australian yet with an unquestionable international feel.

The band’s beginnings are with Carlo Santone and Natalie Paapaa – the two founding and songwriting members of the band. Their sound, attitude and approach has come from years of playing music on the streets, performing day in day out for years, developing a sound and vibe as percussionists that would inevitably form the foundation for Blue King Brown.

Front woman, Natalie Paapaa, delivers and empowers, stating – “It’s as much about the music as it is about the message.”

And I was telling my daughter how the people trying to warn us about global warming were being called fanatics. Much like the people who used to warn us about the dangers of smoking and second-hand smoke. They were also being called fanatics at the time. My, how things change!
