Franko Heke

Franko Heke, of Ngāpuhi Māori and Italian descent, is a musician known for his unique fusion of mantra and reggae ‘Cosmic Kirtan’. Influenced by Xavier Rudd, Michael Jackson, Guns N' Roses, Cat Stevens, Krishna Das, and Metallica, Franko's music career has taken him on tours across Japan and the USA. Born in the 1980s, Franko's early dreams were split between music and sports, but music ultimately won his heart. He transitioned from a rock'n'roll lifestyle to a more mindful approach, embracing meditation, yoga, and breathwork. This change led him to create NZ Spirit & Resolution festivals, alcohol-free, family-oriented events that celebrate community wellness with holistic workshops and music. Through his music and workshops, Franko seeks to raise consciousness and promote unity, drawing on his Māori heritage and ancient mantras. He's toured with artists like Xavier Rudd, Mose, Nahko & Medicine for the People, and shared stages with Donavon Frankenreiter, spreading a message of connection and harmony. Heke is more than just a musician; he’s a catalyst for unity, celebrating our connections to each other and Mother Earth, and his message is reaching audiences far and wide. Franko has 100k followers across social media and insight timer, and his music and meditations have over 4.5 million streams.

Step into the heart of evolve with a deeply intentional opening ceremony guided by Mose and Franko Heke – an immersive journey that blends the sacred spirit of cacao with live music, ancestral rhythms, and heart-centered presence.

This ceremony invites you to arrive fully – in your body, in your breath, in your soul. Together, we will share a ceremonial dose of pure, heart-opening cacao, a sacred plant medicine known for its ability to gently guide us into connection, clarity, and inner alignment.

Mose will offer his signature fusion of organic live-set rhythms, interwoven with ancient chants and deep, meditative beats. He will be joined by Franko Heke on live vocals, adding soulful, resonant layers that elevate the ceremonial space and invite deep emotional connection.

This is a call to presence – a collective ritual to open the space, open our hearts, and co-create the frequency that will carry us through the coming days. Expect a soulful, grounded, and deeply resonant journey – a remembrance of our shared humanity, and a soft landing into the magic of evolve.

*****

Mit dieser besonderen Zeremonie öffnen wir gemeinsam den Raum und stimmen uns auf die Tage bei evolve ein. Mose und Franko Heke laden dich ein, den Alltag hinter dir zu lassen, tief bei dir selbst anzukommen und die Energie des Festivals bewusst zu spüren.

Wir teilen zeremoniellen Kakao, der seit Jahrhunderten als Herzöffner und sanfter Begleiter für innere Klarheit und Verbundenheit genutzt wird. Die Musik von Mose – ein organischer Mix aus meditativen Beats, Live-Elementen und spirituellen Klängen – trägt dich in eine andere Ebene der Wahrnehmung. Franko Heke ergänzt das Set mit kraftvollen Live-Vocals, die das Ritual mit Seele und Tiefe durchdringen.

Freu dich auf eine erdende, kraftvolle und zutiefst nährende Reise – ein Erinnern an unser Menschsein und ein sanftes Ankommen im Zauber von evolve.

Eine Einladung, still zu werden, die Gemeinschaft zu fühlen und dich für die kommenden Tage einzustimmen.
