Midnight Mothers presents Yoko-Zuna, with support from Kedu and Elisa

A gloriously curated music event featuring some of Tamaki Makaurau’s finest musicians.

After a 4 year hiatus Yoko-zuna have decided to take to the stage once again!Formed out of the ashes from one of Auckland’s most musically-creative hubs, Yoko-Zuna (Swap Gomez, Frank Eliesa, Kenji Iwamitsu-Holdaway, and J.Y Lee) have established themselves as one of the most exciting live acts in Aotearoa.

With their combination of unique electronic/hip-hop compositions and a live show which is rarely bettered, they have collaborated with artists such as Tom Scott (Avantdale Bowling Club/Homebrew), CHAII, MELODOWNZ, Team Dynamite, David Dallas, SWIDT, Bailey Wiley, P-Digss (Shapeshifter), Laughton Kora, Raiza Biza, Noah Slee, just to name a few. Yoko-Zuna are an act with talent to burn.
