The Mamaku Project, born of the meeting of two French/Kiwis (evocative bi-lingual vocalist Tui Mamaki and multi-instrumentalist/producer Monsieur E.) earned a reputation for compelling musical and visual performances, embracing elements of Chanson, Dub, World Electronica, Dance and Live Art.

The Mamaku Project released 3 albums, Karekare (2007), Mal de Terre (2009) and Twigs of Gold (2014).
