MOKOMOKAI: SHARDONAY Tour AOTEAROA / NZ - July 2025
MOKOMOKAI returns with The Shardonay Tour, celebrating the release of their highly anticipated third studio album, Pono — a slow-burning, soul-infused project that weaves mood, memory, and truth into nine rich, immersive tracks.
Fronted by Manu, and produced by the visionary duo DUSTY & GHOS, MOKOMOKAI continues to carve out their own space in the musical landscape. Their sound blends poetic lyricism with lush, atmospheric production, deeply rooted in soul and Polynesian influence.
Pono features powerful collaborations with Lukan Raisey, Ma, Lui Tuiasau, Tyra Hammond, and Mara TK, each track echoing raw truths and lived experience.
Following the success of their critically acclaimed album Whakarehu — which earned a 2025 Aotearoa Music Award nomination for the standout track “KUPE” — Pono signals a bold evolution in the group’s artistry. It's a confident, uncompromising statement: raw, refined, and wholly original. In a crowded musical landscape, MOKOMOKAI stands out — proving that authenticity, storytelling, and soul still resonate deeply.
Catch MOKOMOKAI on The Shardonay Tour, with special guest Brandn Shiraz, in a city near you.
