Meryl Cassie appeared as the entertainment of the night on Maori TV’s Hyundai Code show in New Zealand on Thursday 14th April 2011, episode 8 of season 7.
Big sis Megan Alatini was in the audience on the night as her husband, rugby player Pita Alatini, was also a main guest on the show talking about Japan and rugby.
Here’s a video fo Meryl performing a Jackson Five medley on the show:
Meryl was accompanied by dancers Anastasia Koltsova and Jia Peck for her performance. There’s also a video of Meryl opening the show with Keri Hilson & T.I’s ‘I Got Your Back Boy’ (click here) and she closed the show with a Beyonce and Rihanna medley of ‘Crazy In Love’ and ‘Only Girl In The World’ (click here). See if you can spot Megan in the vids!
According to the show Meryl will be releasing a CD later this year. In other news she has been confirmed as the next cast member of The Tribe to appear on Facebook for a chat with fans – the date and time is yet to be confirmed. Continue reading…
Just spotted a ‘new’ video on YouTube, it is of Megan Alatini performing on stage a mini Gaga tribute (it was actually filmed in 2010).
Megan has been teaching dance and performance to students in Kamaishi, she joined them on stage for a short performance of Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance and Just Dance, during a local gathering.
The video is from 2010, I don’t know the exact date, it’s lovely though :)
It’s a small stage, but I think Megan is definitely truly showing her lovely persona up there, performing for the crowd, no matter the size or place. More videos featuring Megan (some in Japanese) can be seen on the YouTube channel blackbird9d.
This video was uploaded to Youtube by the user on March 9th 2011, this post has been backdated.

 More news; our favourite New Zealand DJ/producer P-Money has announced the track listing to his forthcoming album Everything (which will feature the singles Everything and Angels). Meryl appeared in two of P-Money’s music videos, but she will now also be appearing vocally on his album!
Meryl Cassie will feature on track 8, Dance With You, on the Everything album. Dance With You also features hot NZ talent; PNC, Vince Harder & Mz J (Julie Taale). This release is big news for Meryl fans as it is would be a first musical release since The Tribe albums came out back in 2000/2001. I’m not sure how much she features on the track, but still, let’s hope we get to hear it! P-Money’s album Everything will hit NZ on May 3rd, can anyone say import?
That title got your attention! Nothing rude here to be honest. The lovely Meryl Cassie will be back supporting hot pop/rap artist J-Dub with St. Janera on Thursday April 15th at Khuja in Auckland.
The best news about this gig is that Meryl will be performing some original songs for the 1st time, with support from the RudeBoys, could it be the tracks she’s been laying down in the studio?

You can the check the flyer out from the event by clicking here (or the image on the left) – be warned though, the MySpace listing for Meryl turns out to be a fake account. Big shout out to J-Dub for putting the vid online on youTube.
With thanks to Jessica of MerylCassie.com for the info (follow her on Twitter!). Picture of the flyer lifted from Eventfinder.co.nz.
There’s a lovely video on youTube by blackbird9d of Megan Alatini performing the Kamaishi Seawaves Song on November 22nd 2009.

The Kamaishi brass band sound amazing amazing as does Megan during the performance. I’m not sure entirely about this event as we don’t have much details, would be cool to find out who the guy is she is performing with too.
Megan is also joined the stage by her and Pita Alatini’s daughters, Tonica and Tiara, and her son Trey.
