“The big change was reggae and hip-hop, which came along after Split Enz had started. When Bob Marley first visited New Zealand, he lit a fuse that is still burning very brightly. The Maori people particularly honor reggae music in a very big way. So there is a strong reggae scene and a strong hip-hop scene, especially among Samoans. There's still plenty of quirky stuff around. No one expects to make much money here, so it definitely does encourage an underground sense.” PeopleWayFirstsDoeStillsBigsStrongStuffHonorSceneHip HopPlentyBurningHipsHopsBobSplitsLitQuirkyNew ZealandReggaeFuseBig ChangesMarleyReggae Music Author:Tim Finn

“Unoka went into an inner room and soon returned with a small wooden disc containing a kola nut, some alligator pepper and a lump of white chalk. "I have kola," he announced when he sat down, and passed the disc over to his guest. "Thank you. He who brings kola brings life. But I think you ought to break it," replied Okoye passing back the disc. "No, it is for you, I think," and they argued like this for a few moments before Unoka accepted the honor of breaking the kola. Okoye, meanwhile, took the lump of chalk, drew some lines on the floor, and then painted his big toe.” ThinkingMomentsBigsLinesWhiteRoomsBreakOughtHonorDown AndAcceptedPassingPassingsSatNutsGuestsToesLumpsContainingPeppersDiscsAlligatorsChalk Book:Things Fall Apart Source: Things Fall Apart
