Franko Heke

About

Join Franko Heke for a soul-stirring mantra experience that blends the sacred vibrations of Indian, Māori, English, and African traditions. Through heartfelt kirtan and powerful affirmations, Franko invites you to connect deeply with the divine, your inner self, and the collective spirit of the festival. This is more than music—it’s a meditation, a journey of healing, and an ecstatic celebration of life. Prepare to sing, dance, and open your heart to ancient vibrations and transformational energy.

Franko’s mission is to bring people back home—to their hearts, their voices, THEIR BODIES, the Earth, and each other, held by the healing power of his music and meditations.
His unique blend of ambient, reggae, electronica and mantra, known as cosmic kirtan, is a transformative experience for his audiences, guiding them to reconnect with their inner truth and the natural world around them. Franko’s deep connection to his Ngāpuhi Māori and Italian roots also shapes his music, infusing it with a sense of belonging and reverence for both the land and the spirit. He stands at the forefront of a new wave of mantra music, weaving together sacred sounds and modern rhythms to create a future-focused fusion of traditional and contemporary music.
