Modern Māori Quartet are an award-winning contemporary Māori showband that weaves acting and musical talent together to bring the concept of a “Māori Ratpack” into the present. With hearty voices in epic harmony, MMQ share Māori traditions, aroha (love) and tell Kiwi stories through waiata (song) with tongue-in-cheek Māori humour, charm and charisma. MMQ’s live shows are parties like no other, with a mix of off-beat comedy, stage routines, unique takes on showband hits as well as pop music, and displays of distinctively Māori song and dance. MMQ aspires to be one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s global cultural ambassadors, representing the revival of a proud heritage of world-class Māori showband entertainment. At the core of it all, MMQ are a classy celebration of the entertainment legends of Māoridom; hearty Māori entertainment that will warm your heart and make you cry with laughter. Modern Māori Quartet is represented worldwide by SquareSums&Co. in collaboration with Sol de Sully
