Marama formed in 2008 when the Teriitehau brothers teamed up with guitarist Teiva LC. They're from Tahiti, and their music pulls from reggae and pop with a Polynesian feel. Their first album, "Terimana," came out in 2013, followed by "Marama" in 2015 and "No Te Va'i" in 2018.
In 2016, the single "Bronceado" became a summer hit, helping them reach listeners outside Polynesia. Other tracks like "Loquita" and "Nena" kept that upbeat, sun-soaked sound going. They've kept recording, putting out "EA" in 2020.
The band includes Raimana Teriitehau on vocals and ukulele, Rocky Teriitehau on bass, Tuarii Teriitehau on drums, and Teiva LC on guitar. Their songs often blend Tahitian rhythms with accessible melodies, aiming to share Polynesian culture through music.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
