Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori Waiata Performance by acclaimed musicians 'Aro', Charles and Emily Looker

Saturday, 19 September 2026

Award-winning Te Tiriti-based duo Aro create bilingual music that brings whānau together through waiata, storytelling, and connection. Made up of Charles Looker (Ngāpuhi, Te Rarawa, Ngāti Te Ata, Ngāti Mutunga) and Emily Looker, Aro blend Emily's honey-voiced jazz with Charles' full-throated, haka-inspired rhythms to create a sound that is both distinctive and deeply rooted in Aotearoa.

This interactive performance invites tamariki and their whānau to sing, move, and join in through original waiata, playful participation, and stories inspired by te reo Māori, te taiao and everyday life.

This event will be held in Ngā Paiaka Bleachers, Ground Floor, Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui. Free entry performance.
