Modern Maori Quartet

Take 4 good looking, hip swaying, suave Maori guys crooning a mix of modern day & classic songs in Te Reo and English and you get: The Modern Māori Quartet (MMQ).

Maaka Pohatu, Matariki Whatarau, James Tito & Matu Ngaropo are Toi Whakaari/NZ Drama School graduates who have established theatre careers with a combination of over 20 years in the industry.

Initially driven by the need to make money in between acting gigs - the idea of the Quartet was born.

The creative love child of Flight of the Conchords, Prince Tui Teka, The Māori Volcanics & The Quin Tikis, the MMQ have devised and collaborated an entertaining and compelling show & are now ready to expose themselves to NZ and beyond.

Funding will allow us to complete a full production in Auckland and tour nationally.

We have some funding towards a full production but require more support to cover a shortfall to successfully complete our season and build on interest to tour.
