ManaLion are an Australian based dirty roots / dubtronic duo comprised of Kiwi Expats Duan Kaka (aka Duan & Only) and Craig ‘Mondo’ Monika. Originally from the Wairarapa & Bay of Plenty respectively, the lads met on the Northern Beaches of Sydney in 2012 during a boozy episode at the local bar, a night that would later be responsible for the birth of the band.

Since that fateful evening, ManaLion have crafted a unique sound to call their own, infused with a wide range of flavours including Roots, Hiphop, Indie Pop, Rock, Reggae, Dub and Soul. On the road, this well stirred sound is served up with an off the wall live show that gets the party started every time.
