The Aroha Collective blends genre of R&B, Soul, Pop, Te Reo Maori, Kapa Haka and Funk together in 9 tracks titled; Tahi - Rua - Toru - Wha - Rima - Ono - Whitu - Waru - Iwa (1-9).

Written by Mika and produced by Mika and Alan Jansson.

“In these unprecedented times, we need to be a collective world.

I felt like releasing this album of waiata now so we can all share our Aroha/Love in this volatile world.” Mika

Originally timed for a release on Pink Shirt Day (May 22) as part of the Aroha Project 10 year anniversary (a festival/project of screen, music, fashion and dance.) The Aroha Collective has been brought forward in times when we are all looking for things to do and listen too.

“Right now we could all do something loving. Somewhere someone is sitting in silence and isolation so we are all looking for ways of feeling connected, across the globe, this is our small part of sharing Aroha for those feeling lost in this world.

Mika Haka The Aroha Collective is now available on all major streaming services.
