"35" is a song by New Zealand youth choir Ka Hao featuring musician Rob Ruha.
"35" was the group's first single, and preceded the release of their debut album Ka Hao: One Tira, One Voice.
The Ka Hao youth choir formed in 2019, performing concerts for the Tairāwhiti Arts Festival, and in 2020 took part in Mōhau, an album of gospel songs sung in Māori which won the Mana Reo Award at the 2020 Aotearoa Music Awards.
The group wanted to write an anthem similar to "Kalega", but to represent all of the communities along the east coast.
[15] Alongside "Pepeha" (which also received a platinum certification),[16] these were the first songs sung in Te Reo to receive a certification since "Kia Mau Ki Tō Ūkaipō", the Māori language version of Six60's "Don't Forget Your Roots" in 2020,[17] and Stan Walker's "Aotearoa" in 2015.
