Mundi Live

Mundi are excited to be performing once again in Tāmaki Makaurau!
Filled with joy and exuberant energy, Mundi has captured hearts across the land and far-
flung seas, touring and performing extensively. Just some of the events include Newtown
Festival, Festival of Lights (New Plymouth) Christchurch Arts Festival and TEDX. They have
also been involved in collaborations with Pub Choir in the Christchurch Town Hall and
internationally renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma and Marlon Williams as part of Yo-Yo Ma's Bach
Project. Mundi opened for legendary Chilean musician Nano Stern in April of this year and
celebrated a 20 day regional tour in February, and Nelson and Wellington in May. A new
single has been released on the 31st May with more to follow this year.
Mundi comprises Brazilian percussionist Ricardo Stuani, guitarist and dancer Chris Dabinett,
bassist Mike Story and flautist, vocalist, percussionist, dancer and composer Tamara Smith. 
Mundi’s performances are mesmerizing- weaving together the two oldest instruments in
human’s history – flutes and percussion- into a sizzling array of duelling Brazilian/African
percussion with hypnotic guitar, pulsing bass and vocal melodies soaring above and
interlaces stories through music of our interactions with nature and ourselves.
With dances choreographed by Tamara intertwined, these exciting new compositions lure
people into an ancient memory of the pulse of life and awaken our dancing selves lurking
beneath...
West African drum and dance ensemble Kra To Ko Kra will open for Mundi at Ponsonby
Social Club on July 19 th 8pm.


“Never have I seen anywhere a band that embodies the concept of the World of Music
and Dance as Mundi have” 
– 4th Wall Theatre, New Plymouth 

"Mundi were a highlight for Relish 2025, and their high-energy set created a vibrant
and energetic dancefloor. The bands stage presence is captivating and fun, and the
crowd loved dancing hard to their live music. Tamara, the lead singer, is amazing to
watch as she weaves between playing various instruments, singing, and engaging
with the crowd. What fun!"
