Maika

The Maika project begins in 2000, when Aria starts it with co-writer and guitar player Micro. The group moves from western Norway to Oslo to develop its sound through recordings and live performances. Its songs are arranged so they work both with vocals and a single guitar and with a full band, and they feature strong melodic writing. In May 2005, the project appears as front page band on the independent music site Uhørt, and the underground track “Concave Glass” becomes particularly associated with it. The track “Noches locas de amor” is also associated with Maika, and the project is tagged with reggaeton.
