Overview

The Adults are undeniably a New Zealand music supergroup. Their latest record Haja was inspired by traditional Sudanese music called aghani-al-banat which was performed at founder Jon Toogood's own wedding in 2014.

Featuring Jess B, Chelsea Jade, Estere and Aaradhna, the album notes read like a roll call of some of New Zealand's most powerful female voices. Transcending genre and place, this unique record is a pertinent statement on feminine power and identity. Punters now have the opportunity to hear Haja live when The Adults roll into Meow on 1 September. Featuring Jon Toogood, Estere, Raiza Biza, Ben Wood and Emily C. Browning, it will be a must-see for fans of world music and feminism alike.
