Aro
Multi-award nominated duo Aro, share a passion for the power of language and music in telling stories that celebrate our cultural identity.
Blending Emily's honey-voiced jazz and Charles' full-throated percussive sound with shades of haka, Aro's performance is wholly original and anchored in Aotearoa. The pair is known for their multi-genre offering of music and storytelling, exploring the ideas of kaitiakitanga and manaakitanga – looking after ourselves, each other and our environment.
Aro has been nominated for several New Zealand music awards, most recently longlist finalists APRA Silver Scrolls 2024, and finalists for three awards at the Waiata Māori Music Awards 2024.
