BAREFOOT DIVAS/Walk a Mile in My Shoes: Think Celtic ladies transplanted to Australia/New Zealand bringing their indigenous sounds to the fore. Singing in English so gringos can't play the dumb card, this crew tells their stories mixing jazz and local sounds (think Maori etc) and it's as new and exciting as new African sounds were a generation back in the wake of Paul Simon exploring the continent. Exploding into the New Zealand arts world last year and showing that even if soul comes from down south, down under south shouldn't be counted out of the equation. Hot stuff that connects with open eared listeners at a lot of levels. Check it out.
