With the showband's long-awaited debut original album
, That's Us! being
released Friday 15th September Modern Māori Quartet will head off on an
extensive 20 date nationwide tour, travelling the highways and
byways of New Zealand taking their music to the people of
Aotearoa. Joining them for te haerenga (the journey) will be the
beloved
Annie Crummer.
Matu Ngaropo
(Performer & Music Dramaturg) says:
“The tour will be about taking our
music to the people and returning it to our roots. We want to inspire a new
generation of garage parties and fuel those special gatherings with new,
honest, hearty waiata to add to the classic playlist. These will be songs that the
heartland of Aotearoa can sing along to. As a team committed to carrying
the mantle of this kaupapa we aim to share a new and current sound of Māori
showbands and show people that real music, our music, is alive and thriving.”Francis Kora (Performer) adds:
“Past, present and future, with Aroha and truth
as the main ingredients.”
