The Mamaku Project: Electr-O-rganic Sessions

“Wild flavours of French Cabaret Flirt with the pulse of Electro-Oriental-Jazz... An intoxicating affair of multi-lingual noir poetry, conjuring Balkan dance floors, spliced with a sprinkling of circus…”

Sure to stir your soul and move your feet.

As seen recently on their NZ Summer Tour 2010 the Mamaku Project are back in town, with an alluring new sound inspired by their musical encounters in Europe 2009, The Mamaku Project revamp their signature blend of French Chanson, Pacifika Dub and Middle Eastern Jazz with an injection of upbeat Urban European Electronica.

Featuring co-founders Tui Mamaki (vocals) and Monsieur E. (synths/electro) with Simon Walker (drums), Finn Scholes (trumpet) and Oliver Emmit (trombone).

“Conjures up a nomadic past… exotic scales and jazzy improvisations are interwoven with familiar images of sand and sea in an impressive fusion, highlighted by Mamaki’s powerful, microtonal vocals.” Nick Bollinger – The Sampler NZ 2007

“An impressive show, weaving a dense musical web of sounds including sultry and moody dub, mixed with quintessentially French and bohemian melodies, and even enchanting elements of the east…giving off a very theatrical exuberance…”
Luke Balzan – Rip it Up, Adelaide 2008

“Colourful music… highly talented musicians… in the foreground there is the exquisite voice of Tui Mamaki …exciting and courageous … you will always hear new nuances…” www.welt-musik.net - GERMANY 2009
