Our talented brothers from the Solomon Islands were in town recently to perform live at a night Club in Madang town. Sharzy, Funky and Rushy have a very large following here in Madang, Papua New Guinea and the Pacific. Sharzy made his mark in PNG with songs like Lewa, the ever popular Solwara Meri, Getting over you and many others. Sharzy hit the No.1 Spot on Top20 Pacifique program. You can also follow his song on Youtube and download from Itunes, conditions do apply of course. Sharzy has been a long time visitor to PNG and has been featured alongside many other PNG artists.
Funky and Rushy also from the Solomon Islands have their Hit single featured on Youtube aswell; Love is Forever and Try. According to Solomon Star the duo brothers are back with their latest installment of groovy raggae beats, RnB and island music flavour, all mixed into their hot new album entitled "Love is forever".
The album was to be released some time early this year with the launching set in Honiara. The album "Love is forever" is the second one from the brothers and was recorded at studio Melanesia with Danny Faárodo. "Love is forever" continues on where the brothers left off in their previous album "True Love" maintaining that upbeat and hyped up mood many of their fans love when listening to their songs. According to big brother and lead singer Floyd Manata a.k.a. "Funky", fans are going to enjoy this new album.
