In Marquesan culture, Mave Mai is more than a greeting—it’s a gesture of welcome, a call to unity. Traditionally chanted at gatherings and ceremonies, the phrase carries the weight of communal spirit and ritual hospitality. 

The Frog Collective, Guy Laliberté, & Soul of Zoo channel that energy into a track that feels both ancestral and futuristic. ‘Mave Mai’ opens with breathy atmosphere and grounding percussion, gradually unfolding into a deep, meditative groove. The rhythm doesn’t rush. It invites, and then dances with the listeners who are  open to it. 

Vocal fragments echo like ceremonial chants across a dancefloor imagined as sacred ground—one  where connection matters more than spectacle. 

As part of Frooogs Records’ exploration of global sound and ritual, ‘Mave Mai’ stands as a quiet  homage to Polynesian tradition—translated into a language dancers understand. A welcome, a pulse, a moment of stillness within motion.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Mave Mai’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
