Three Houses Down

Nominated for:
Flava Best Pacific Group
Best Pacific Roots/Reggae Artist
​

South Auckland’s finest Three Houses Down has long been a favourite group among reggae and music fans in New Zealand and around the Pacific.
 
In 2022, the boys returned to the studio with the mindset to release something that was reflective of the times and the pandemic that had turned the world upside down and brought so much uncertainty and suffering.

'The Dream' was born - a song with a smooth and easy-listening melody that works to uplift the listener with lyrics such as: “To everyone that’s suffering, it’s gonna be alright. It’s gonna be alright. Reach out and touch somebody. Reach out and hug someone today. We need to come together - show one love. Everything will be alright.”
 
The song features Pacific legendary singer Fiji and Kiwi artist Troy Kingi, whose rap in te reo Māori offers another aspect to the track that is uplifting and encouraging in a uniquely Kiwi way.
