Unity the Band to perform July 11
Unity the Band -- an award-winning Original Roots, Rock, Reggae and World Beat band from Wisconsin -- will perform at 7:30 p.m. TONIGHT, Monday, July 11, at the Calumet Theatre. General admission tickets are $16.
Kai "Pita" Katobalavu, the lead singer of Unity the Band, was born in the Fiji Islands. By listening to and singing native songs, Pita taught himself to play a wide range of instruments including a wooden drum called the lali and to perform the meke, which is a complex combination of voices and dance and is often used in times of war. At a very young age, he followed his uncle’s band, The Blue Ribbon, based out of Tailevu. In 1988 he formed a band called the Polynesian Connection that combined reggae, ska, and rock.
In 2002, Pita moved to Wisconsin where he could continue his music and share his original reggae with a new audience. He is joined by Timothy Perkins (music director, upright bass, electric basses, and vocals); Kelvin Ayres (singer, songwriter, producer and drums/percussion); Anthony Bessen (acoustic & electric guitar, vocals); and Logan Dier (keys, vocals).
