Rooted in authenticity, raw grittiness and passion for he tangata, MOKOMOKAI make their highly anticipated return to Te Whanganui-a-tara to rock CubaDupa. MOKOMOKAI is one of Aotearoa’s most enigmatic underground hip-hop acts to come out in recent years. Known for their unique blend of sounds drawing from 70s soul, gritty drum loops, and confident - often playful - lyricism, the genre defining trio are fronted by Manu Walters, with producers Ghos & Dusty. They are recognized for their raw, deliberate and authentic sound, which has been described as both a "masterclass in local hip-hop" and a "bold statement: raw, refined, and wholly original". Presented with the support of Te Māngai Pāho.
