"…adds up to a warmth of experience, wholly original, anchored in Aotearoa, that left all who had been present to it with the feeling of having been let in on a special secret." - Rosheen Fitzgerald - gig review at The Common Room – Hastings
Aro are best described as multi-genre offering of storytelling pop, RnB, electronic and jazz, fusing vocals, tāonga puoro and chants, who write waiata which thematically explore the ideas of kaitiakitanga and manaakitanga - looking after ourselves, looking after each other and looking after our environment.
ARO is made up of husband and wife Charles Looker (Ngāpuhi, Te Rarawa, Ngāti Te Ata, Te Ati Awa) and Emily Looker (nee Rice). The bilingual duo share a passion for the power of language and music to tell stories and remind us of our cultural identity. Enjoy the storytelling waiata of Emily and Charles of Aro as they present a collection of new songs celebrating stories of our natural heritage in Aotearoa, including award-nominated waiata about the native birdlife of this land and songs inspired by marine life that live in the waters off the coasts of this stunning country.
