Mamaku Project Announces Summer Tour
12.1.11
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...
This summer, the Mamaku Project have announced a tour, encompassing shows in both the North and South Islands.
Based on Auckland'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.
The Mamaku Project's coming shows should make for a fantastically varied feast for the senses.
