ManaTapu is a music group from Malta formed in 2010. The band consists of Jogy Bo (vocals, acoustic guitar), Dario Vella C (vocals, lead guitar), Andrew McGrath (drums), Pupa Chile (MC, vocals), Tete a.k.a. Camacho Criminal (MC, vocals), and Aaron Dimech (bass guitar) who officially took over from former bassist and founding band member, Francesco Darmanin, in April 2017.

Initially rooted in reggae and ska,[1] ManaTapu "also draws inspiration from a host of other sounds and genres that run the gamut from funk to blues", rock music to folk, popular music to polka, and even, hip-hop to punk rock.[2] Collectively, the band speaks about 6 languages. With lyrics which range from English, to Maltese, to Spanish and French, the band cites its multicultural influences as a core element of the ManaTapu sound.

Known to [3] "generate massive audience reaction when they play live",[2] ManaTapu are "one of the most sought-after live acts on the island" of Malta. This live energy was captured in their music video for song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw3aWeoC3zY/ music video for song Kanta r Rima], filmed during the band's [4] "headlining show at the 2014 Sliema Street Art Festival".

Band name

The group's name is inspired by, and composed of two separate words, Mana and Tapu, which are found in Māori tradition and culture. 'Mana' is a word found in Austronesian languages translating to "power, effectiveness, prestige" [5] often with supernatural and magical connotations.[6] 'Tapu' is closely linked to the Māori concept of mana (respect / authority) and many view tapu as the mana derived from the gods. As the New Zealand Ministry of Justice puts it:

Mana and tapu are concepts which have both been attributed single-worded definitions by contemporary writers. As concepts, especially Maori concepts they can not easily be translated into a single English definition. Both mana and tapu take on a whole range of related meanings depending on their association and the context in which they are being used.[7]

History

2012 – band formation

Prior to ManaTapu's formation, founding members Dario Vella C, and Francesco Darmanin had played in a band called I'n'I. It was in the summer months of 2010, at a reggae bar in St-Julians called "Juuls", that Dario and Francesco would meet Jogy and Pupa Chile, and begin playing music together under the 'ManaTapu' name.[3] The foursome met Tete in Summer 2011, at a jam session at bar / venue Ta Fra Ben, in a Maltese town called Buġibba. In October 2012, the band would meet Andrew McGrath, ex drummer for Montreal punk rock group Humanifesto, and ask him to join the group.[3] This was only ten days prior to the band's final show at the 'Rookies' Battle of the Bands in Buġibba, which [2] was the first of two battles that ManaTapu would win in a period of 6 months.[8] As the band states on their website, "what began as fun acoustic jams on Malta’s beaches in the summer of 2012 gradually turned into ManaTapu."
