Rob Ruha
Iconic New Zealand artist, Rob Ruha, is set to release a fresh new single, 'Kalega', on Thursday November 2 - the first since his union with The Witch Dr. The Witch Dr. features an alliance of some of Aotearoa's finest musicians Darren Mathiassen (Shapeshifter), James Illingworth (Bliss n Eso), Tyna Keelan (The Nok) and Johnny Lawrence (Electric Wire Hustle), and the single is the first track from Rob Ruha & The Witch Dr's highly anticipated bilingual album, SURVIVANCE, set for release later this year. APRA Maioha Award-winning composers Tyna Keelan & Rob Ruha teamed up to co-write and co-produce 'Kalega' a fun, upbeat summer anthem. "Kalega is pidgin- Maori slang for 'too much' and is common lingo on the East Coast," says Ruha. "Kalega is the perfect soundtrack to a typical East Coast summer road trip. A pilgrimage back to the beach to chill and unwind to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the city"
