Modern Māori Quartet

We are the Modern Māori Quartet (MMQ) -- James Tito, Matariki Whatarau, Maaka Pohatu and Francis Kora -- a Māori foursome with a fresh take on classic Māori showbands. We love crooning our spin on modern and classic numbers.

Suit us up in our number ones, comb our hair, shine our shoes, hand us a guitar or two and we'll have you melting like golden syrup on a piece of fresh hot fried bread!

"The Modern Maori Quartet radiate good times. (Oh, to find yourself at a party with a couple of guitars and these guys belting out songs.)" -- Metro

"...effortless four-part harmonies mix barbershop, skiffle and the kind of Maori garage party music that gets played while the hangi's cooking." -- Peter Calder, NZ Herald
