Songbroker Song of the Day: Aro - 'Kererū'
Aro are a recognisable husband & wife duo in the New Zealand music scene, having now completed two tours nationwide with their music.
Emily (nee Rice) and Charles Looker (Ngapuhi) who blend stories in song that express the people, the culture and the heart of their home country, Aotearoa New Zealand.
Aro has been recognised in the Silver Scrolls for their song ‘Korimako’ which was a finalist for the Maioha Award 2019, and in 2020 the same song was then nominated as a finalist for the APRA Best Children’s Song Award.
Both talented musicians in their own right, their sound together is best described as 'Aotearoa Pop with Jazz, RnB & Kapahaka influences’.
‘Kererū’ is a fun, funky song told through the eyes of the native bird and its tendency to become intoxicated by eating too many berries.
