Don't Fall In Love is available today - Friday 4th August - digitally on iTunesSpotify and all good DSP's.

Pre-order Modern Māori Quartets upcoming debut album 'That's Us!' from today and receive the first four singles; Shine, Māreikura, Kai Song and Don't Fall In Love instantly! 


Don't Fall In Love 
is the forth single to be taken from That's Us!.
Available today - Friday 4th August - digitally on iTunesSpotify and all good DSP's. 

"It’s our Motown-inspired, soulful, Sam Cooke styled song that will cut straight to your heart and make you laugh at the same time.

As artists, there is a magic fusion where the performer and the work become one and the same. As well as being something special to share, our music is also an expression through which we learn, develop and become better people.
Based loosely on real experiences, Don’t Fall In Love is tragically honest. The pursuit of happiness, love and truth are integral to the music we make and this song is all about having the courage to be honest, even if it’s painful."

"Big mihi to James Tito for editing this in record time and the boys plus our soundie for putting their training and experience to great use, and of course, to Fran for opening his heart up the way he has.” - MMQ x


With the showband's long-awaited debut original albumThat's Us! being released Friday 15th September, the 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.”
