about

Āio is about being at peace with the world... itʻs what everyone wants, its what we strive for, itʻs what nature needs and itʻs what humanity needs.

The concept of peace no longer a concept that the indigenous and the moon howlers practice... Itʻs deeply embedded in the neuroscience studies of today.

Call it what you will, mindfulness, meditation, financial stability... it all comes down to Peace - Āio.

We now know how important the connection with nature is. For te Ao Māori itʻs about respecting the elements - Papatūanuku (the land) Tangaroa (the water) and the mirroring of this within ourselves.

"They will live on when we are gone, ora tonu kua mate tātou."

This is from the upcoming E.P. also called ʻĀio available from the 20th July worldwide. For more go to www.iamhuia.com

lyrics

ĀIO

V1
Kia tūpato i ō kupu nei - Take care with your words

Kia tūpato koe te haerenga ki mua - Take care on your journey

He taonga nui, he rawa, he rawa - These things are precious, most important

Ko Papatūānuku, ko Tangaroa - The earth entity, the water entity

They will live on, when weʻre gone - Āe, āe, ora, tonu, ka mate tātou

CH
Ka rongo ki te iwi (e karanga ana) - I hear humanity calling

Āio, Āio - To be at peace, be at peace

Ka rongo au ki te whenua (e karanga ana) - I hear the lands calling

Āio, Āio - To be at peace, be at peace

They will live on when weʻre gone - Āe, āe, ora, tonu, ka mate tātou
V2
Ehara tātou i te kaitiaki o te Ao - we are not the guardians of the earth

Koia kei ngā atua - this is, they are the entities

Ko ia te ora, ko ia te wai - they are the life, they are the water

Ko Papatūānuku, ko Tangaroa

They will live on, when weʻre gone - Āe, āe, ora, tonu, ka mate tātou - CH
