The Beatles, R&B, jazz and taonga puoro inspire musical duo Aro

Husband and wife duo Charles and Emily Looker make up Aro and their album He Wai draws on a combination of kapa haka, R&B, gospel, jazz and the Beatles. The pair say their lyrics switch seamlessly between Maori and English and some of their songs reflect their concern for the environment. He Wai consists of five songs which display Aro's use of taonga puoro, guitars, strings and saxophone. Where will their creative energy take them next?
