Mana

https://ffm.to/-mana SUB-TRIBE deliver their new single 'Mana', which serves as the title track and central pillar of their forthcoming EP. A soundsystem-ready anthem of celebration, self-worth and cultural strength, 'Mana' pairs an infectious club rhythm with themes of whānau, self-acceptance and ancestral pride. Breaking new ground while staying grounded in their roots, 'Mana' sees the seven-piece collective fuse a driving house-inspired groove with heavy dub elements, cascading horn melodies and ragga vocal energy. The result is a high-energy slice of global bass with its roots in Pacific soul, reflecting SUB-TRIBE's fusion ethos while retaining the rhythmic pulse and cultural grounding at the heart of the band. From its opening chant "I'm a descendant of Hawaiki", 'Mana' establishes a fierce connection to origin, lineage, and resilience. The uplifting chorus calls on listeners to embrace their cultural identity ("Whaia tō mana Māori"), while the breakdown offers a universal reminder of navigation and purpose: "No matter where you are, you are guided by the stars."
