Aaria

With roots deep in the world of Maori culture performance (Kapa Haka), these five performers come blazing with their cool style, positive vibe and Maori language 100% intact. The sophisticated sound of Aaria's debut single 'Kei A Wai Ra Te Kupu' brings a breath of fresh air to the New Zealand RnB scene. The single includes both Maori and English language mixes and a hot music video. The Aaria concept started in November 2000 when the search began to locate talented, positive young Maori language speaking role models who could sing as well as converse in te reo Maori. Aaria redefined Maori music as we know it, blending Maori language with top class production from Urban Pasifika Records. Young gifted and Maori... no doubt!
