ARTIST: The Mamaku Project
The Mamaku is a tall tree-fern native to the islands of Aotearoa. Its generous umbrella of fronds offers lush green shade and balance. Each frond begins as a koru, unfurling hope and creativity.
The Mamaku Project is inspired to orchestrate its origins like the Mamaku does its fronds… naturally, organically, truly…
Based on AK's rugged West Coast in the gorgeous but storm-swept Karekare, The Mamaku Project weaves smooth jazz with a French lilt, Pacifica dub and scents of the Middle East into a fresh and colourful style.
French-Kiwi co-founders Tui Mamaki on vocals and Monsieur Escargot on bass/keys/guitar/production, gather around them a selection of local talent to perform, record and forge the vessel – a musical project linking peoples, landscapes and languages.
