Rema-Rema was a short-lived English music group formed in the 1980s. The band consisted of Gary Asquith on guitar and vocals, Marco Pirroni on guitar, Mick Allen on bass and vocals, Mark Cox on keyboards, and Dorothy Max Prior on drums. They released one EP called "Wheel In The Roses" through 4AD in April 1980 before splitting up. Their songs "Fond Affections" and "Rema-Rema" were later covered by This Mortal Coil and Big Black respectively.

Despite their brief existence, Rema-Rema made an impact with their unique sound that blended elements of post-punk and experimental rock. Their EP showcased their talent for crafting atmospheric and haunting tracks that left a lasting impression.

Although they may not have achieved mainstream success during their time together, Rema-Rema's influence can still be felt today. Their songs continue to be celebrated by fans of alternative music, with covers by other notable artists further solidifying their legacy in the industry.

Rema is a superstar already. Championed by no less than Barack Obama and Drake, his songs such as Iron Man and Dumebi have already changed the game forever. Continuously demonstrating wisdom way beyond his 21 years, Rema is paving the way for his generation with his mission statement of taking Afrobeats around the globe being central to everything he does. To some, his success may appear to be overnight but his musical journey began as young as ten in the church. Rema aka Divine Ikubor was born and bred in Benin City and has risen to mainstream consciousness with his unmatched vocals, fusion of genres &amp; ease at being unapologetically himself. Rave and Roses gives us a glimpse into the story of glimpse into the story of Rema the superstar as he tries to navigate life, the fame, love and sex while while creating a sonically pleasing and exciting experience.
