Face of the Day

Dilworth Karaka is being remembered as a humble man with a musical soul. The frontman of the band Herbs has died, aged 75. [...]

Born in 1950, Karaka co‑founded the band in Auckland in 1979 with Toni Fonoti, Spencer Fusimalohi and Fred Faleauto.

He was the band’s regular guitarist and lead singer for the next 40 years.

Herbs collaborated with some big local names including Tim Finn (‘Parihaka’), Annie Crummer (‘See What Love Can Do’) and most successfully with Dave Dobbyn on the hit single ‘Slice of Heaven’, off the movie soundtrack Footrot Flats.
