Honestly seeing those who are not Maori or are new to watching Kapa Haka warms my heart. Because obviously with me being a Cook Islander living in New Zealand and joined kapa haka for polyfest, kapa haka can be emotional as we perform the Maori culture with its stories of our ancestors. The language, the haka, the meaning of every item performed in their bracket warms my heart. I love Aotearoa and will always love Aotearoa.
This is true and all but he needs to just sit there and watch the video instead of constantly pausing the video giving an opinion of something irrelevant
I just wanna explain the difference between haka and kapa haka. Haka: is a way of telling a story through chant and the actions they use, so depending on the occasion it could be a respect thing, a means of intimidation or other. Kapa haka: is a group performance, with a male leader and a female leader, it’s a way to tell stories through songs, actions and chants, they normally have set brackets, which consists of the following: waiata tira (intro song) whakaeke (introduction to the group and what their performance is going to be about) moteatea (chanting song) waiata a ringa (action song) poi (women’s performance with poi) Haka (men’s performance) Whakawatea (exit piece) And each group will perform their own unique bracket in a similar order.
My daughter has been training with her school kapa haka group for a few months now…they train up 18 hours a week in preparation for the regional competition next month. Colonisers tried to kill off our language and our culture (still happening today) We have events like this to bring us together to celebrate and preserve our culture. There is a lot kapa haka songs you can find on TH-cam, Spotify iTunes etc. Type in Maori waiata and that should bring up a bunch of options. Great reaction, look forward to your haka at 100k
It's kinda weird. Te Reo was commonly taught in primary schools in the 80s and 90s then all of a sudden it became and issue. We don't teach 5 year olds Japanese or Italian but suddenly certain bigots get a stick up their ar*e about kindy kids being bi-ligual. Yeah it's a fight, but worth it. Maybe get together with the Scottish community?
stuff like this makes me think its actually lots worse than I usually see.. im white background asf and I grew up doing kapa haka, and visiting a few different marae so far.. we aren't all like that.. it makes me sad
I love the authentic dress and the girls look beautiful. That was amazing.❤️ I don't understand the words either Twano, but culture is a beautiful thing. So much passion.
Churr bro, just watched your Video, the girl in the red Piu Piu (skirt) is my daughter. We both had a good giggle watching your reaction hehe. In February 2022 we will be having the biggest Kapa Haka competition in our country that's held every 2 years which have around 46 groups from all over the country that perform and represent their iwi (tribe) The competition goes for a week and on the last day only the top 9 perform for 1st 2nd n 3rd place etc. It's held in Auckland at our biggest sports stadium, not only will their be Kapa Haka but there will be loads of Maori Food, Maori clothing and much more. If covid dosen't stop you nau mai haere mai bro, come over and see the best Kapa Haka in the world live, you will LOVE IT!!!
We have this annually as a competition. It helps to revive and restore our culture and helps showcase creativity. They have a panel of judges. If they drop a poi they get marked down. If they make any mistakes marks are taken off. We love to watch as it makes us proud of our heritage. This was exactly how our ancestors dressed. We sing, we do poi and then boom haka! My daughter goes to this school. One day she will perform with them too!
The Haka is about how Captain James Cook stole the land of the Māori 41:54 is when their saying “Whāka hoki a mai!” which translates to “give it back!”. 39:47 When they were pointing at the crowd they were basically pointing at Captain James Cook yelling at him to get off our land and stop taking what isn’t yours. But yeah that’s what I got from Haka!
Imagine.. Being so proud and open about your language, culture and traditions. I live in Denmark now. But I'm originally Greenlandic. I wholeheartedly miss my pride and beauty that is, that I am from the biggest island on earth, but yet we have a hard time showing the world our beauty.
...I watch Kapahaka regularly... I love putting my fave KAPA = group on, blasting it to 100% and cleaning up my house... I also attend these events, firstly to support my family members performing, to support my KAPA or group or teams, that are representing my tribe my canoe my land, or in this tournaments case, representing a school from my area... KapaHaka is a lifestyle...
I have mad respect for you bro honestly having someone from another country reacting and embracing to my culture just warms my heart!! Not even my ex husband would watch Kapa haka with me, probably why hes my ex lol nah but anyway thanks got my respect brother!!
Due to colonisation our cultural practises and language was nearly lost, we (Māori) keep our cultural practises alive through kapahaka performances, to acknowledge our ancestors and history 😍
In order to understand their facials and expressions you’ll need to get the translation for the songs which are usually really deep , Polynesian Culture and Heritage is shared through our songs and chants and haka , therefore a lot of the wairua (spirit) in these songs are felt x 100 . No matter the occasion there will always be a song 👌🏽 .. This one is a High School Comp I’d say Māori schools but there are mainstream schools that have a bilingual unit that may enter too .Our High Schools compete 😍, there is also one for intermediate (middle school )& primary (elementary) aswell.. it takes alot for the kids to prep for these but usually Wananga ( weekends where the group gather and learn the history and meaning and significance behind their performances) over the next couple months build ups and back to back practices.. Takes alot of dedication and commitment to even be picked to stand 👌🏽 💙🥰 Our Polynesian/Melanesian&Micronesian Heritage is defs One beautiful History to be Proud of 💙🥰 our Māori whanau have Haka Comps and We also have PolyFest
Yo loving your content bro. I'm new to the channel and l just had to drop a line to show you love for giving it a really respectful attempt at reading that Maori. Mad respect bro 👍You have the best Maori I've heard from an American for real
Every person not doing Wiri (hand shake ) is a penalty so they deduct points They penalise a poi drop on the ground too And if someone steps out of time or step with the wrong foot .. Kapahaka is so hard you train almost 15 hours a day during school and after and then the week before the performance you stay at a “marae” or school hall aswell and practice from 5am-2am sometimes later It’s crazy but it’s worth it once you get it done Enjoy your reactions to our culture 😊
Wow what a mean Maori performance....makes.me miss home even more..Your reactions are priceless..you need to one day come and experience all you have seen...plenty Maori will love to show you our culture...one love👍❤
To answer your question. Yes we do listen to songs in our cars, at home, at work, everywhere haha we have amazing indigenous singers here in Aotearoa (new Zealand)
That's the spiritual side within you coming through. Maori people are the tangata whenua of Aotearoa (native people of the land New Zealand). We celebrate our culture every 2yrs and each tribe puts up their best performers, singers etc. and it's like competing against other tribes. The performance is all about the language, traditions, Waiata and sung with actions to tell a story. If you saw our carvings they represents our tupuna etc of the past. You should Google about Maori people, you will find they are very spiritual people. Stan Walker would have got a lot of voice training out of joining these groups. This custom starts from babies to adults.
“What do you gain from watching these?” I feel like it’s the same energy that one would get from watching a high school sports team play in a final. Seeing our talented kids practicing and working hard throughout the year in something they’re passionate about to see the final product.
we keep in contact who we are. we continue teamwork and precision as a team. and as a race... flexibility and self defence. confidence we tell story's of the bullshit colonial government and other issues relating to their bullshit. and none of you know any better all the things you guy don't do 😂 and that's why nz needs our stuff to grow balls before doing the damage. eg All Blacks and any other high performer. it was our way of life till people like you came along get a whole bunch of your people together and try and do anything half as good. can't see it mate
The reason why it’s soft at the start is because it’s a whole performance of waiata (song) there are whakaeke, moteatea, waiata ā ringa, poi, Haka and the whakawatea. The pukana and wiri are meant to scare off or distract enemy. there isn’t usually just a haka in a performance chur
These are children and this is one of our kid competitions. the tribes around the country create Kapahaka (performing teams) to come together and compete against eachother in performing Haka, waiata, moteatea, poi, whakaeke, etc to see whos the best. this is bc one of our most ancient traditions was performing on special occasions. usually at a marae (maori courtyard) when you enter the wharekai to get a plate of food, their will be people performing a waiata (action song) to welcome you in. but when entering the marae itself you'll get welcome by either warriors displaying their weaponry skills to prevent any attacks from the visitors and lay a taki or rau (peace carving, or leaf) to create peace between the visitors and tangata whenua (people of the land), or there will be kui (women elders/grandmothers) doing a karanga and opening up the realm of hinenuitepo to bring on the visitors, usually followed by a welcoming haka from the people who happen to be in the marae to the visitors to let it known that they will fight for their land and people if the visitors break the peace treaty which was established during the wero or powhiri when the taki was placed down or when the karanga was called.
Bruhhh, I have lived in Aotearoa for my whole damn life. How the hell does this man know more than I do? I am slowly beginning to think he was born in New Zealand. Someone has clearly been doing their Social Studies work! Ka pai to this legend!!!!!
Aye man your reaction is cool bro, this coming from a Maori. Nothing ignorant about it, a genuine interest, respect and admiration for our culture. Very cool bro...
Bro we got you honest we allow got U bro your the man , we as a people don't feel recognised I think . We are a warrior race , a race with such deep connections to our roots. Today we reflect that in violence because it's still in our blood , we made different . I'm proud to be a Maori , im proud to know people are going to learn more about us because of you , do the haka at 100000 g
@@Twano2am bro yes and it came off of the tongue quick asf so it means you wasnt really trying, it sounds like you speak perfect maori just with an american accent
i didnt even realise you reacted to this...sis &bro gaming...tge man i the back in red playing guitar is the head of this group...he is also the head of my daughters school in the same comp....Henderson Intermediate..he keeps the mana(pride) so instilled in our tamariki(kids)u shld watch his other school aswell and see what he creates in our kids...1 MAN👍
It's to keep our culture alive and to bring our Te Reo language back we preform on special days like waitangi day (signing of the treaty between Maori and the British crown) another topic u should look at
You get to feel the Mauri (Essence) of our Tupuna(Ancestors) the Vibe and Energy all in one the Haka is always halfway thru near to the end that's the Mana (Power) of the whole group 💯 pretty good Hapa Haka for High School age Love it 🔥🔥🔥
The lead girl in the red piu piu is my moko's (grandchildren's) older sister and they train every day and on the weekends they have Noho which is when they stay on the Marae and train. They have been going to full Maori emersion high school.
Kapa - is a word that translates to "group". So to translate - you are watching: the Haka group (Te Kapa Haka) from the school of (o Te Wharekura o) Hoani Waititi Marae - Raahui Pookeka (thats the name of the event they performed at)
Kia Ora bro, what a crack up you are Twano 2am. Good you are watching one of our cultural practises and trying to understand our culture and who we are as a people. Us Maori look up to black people when it comes to R&B all music from black artist from America. You fallas are the greatest in the world for everything from sports to music, actors, academics etc.. We try to emulate black artist's and a lot of our modern music is influenced by black R&B artist. Keep watching and learning about us cuzzy. Mauri Ora bro... May wellness be upon you and your people.
These are held in each nz region and the two winners from each region go to nationals the next year, its a competition to uphold our culture. Mean watching videos like this 🔥
Ok so im going to explain why they start of sweet and at the end they go hard So the first waiata(song) is called the waiata tira(coral) the second song is the moteatea the moteatea is like a sweet chant and then the whakaeke(chant) and after the whakaeke its the waiata ringa after that its the poi(traditional wrist movment)after the poi its the boys item the haka and the poi is mainley for the boys to keep there wrist strong but now its for the girls and after the haka there is a whakawatea.or sometimes after the poi there is the patu and thats what the girls do and sometimes after the haka there is another chant or haka for the taiaha(traditional maori rakau) and ur welcome.
These songs are sacred to each Tribe. So you can see it on these channels but they are each tribes Taonga for them only. I could be wrong, but they are not like normal music. these come out in different Tribes for competition and they are telling their stories of their ancestors and their history.
you say we lucky to have that 1 young man on our side but truth is bro everyone who jumps up and gets to represent is just as proud as the next person we work hard to be up on that stage and they all deserve it
I like to watch your reactions bro I’m a Maori born and bred…it’s like the Shaka Zulu tribes of Africa …the cariagraphy is syncrinized how the African culture was displayed to entertain the viewers we were treated the same brother…..I love the African culture bro mad respect 🙏🙏I love my Maori culture bro we Maori try to keep our spirit strong (wairua)
The eyes open wide is called "pūkana" 😳 each item they perform has a name. The moteatea is a lament and it can show their ancestral angers 😠 😡 for past grievances. The pukana and facial expressions were used when they went to battle to scare their enemies
These songs are our traditional songs. They come from our ancestors. The Chants, The Haka, The poi, and the WIRIWIRI (wi ri wi ri) (the POI) which was originally swung by the men because it helped to keep their wrist strong to help achieve the cutting or slicing the PATU (greenstone/whale bone) like axe held in the hand and the TAIAHA(tie a ha)through your enemies head or body
Nah Shem is Asiatic. Your maori culture and tangaroa is satanic ancient babylonian culture influenced by nimrod who was black from the seed of ham. Jesus is from the line of Shem. You connect rest of the dots
Thepart with the facial expressions is cslled the motete...pronounced more tear tear story of historic prestige what makes us us and how strongly we feel and how proud we are of the people thst csme before us and what they did.bragging rights
When she pops her eyes out it's called a Pukana, it's designed as a scare tactic to behead their enemy... The head in Māoridom is the most sacred part of the body..during war warriors would behead their enemy and take their heads as prize especially someone that is of some high rank.... chief...etc
We have a deep respect for our culture and celebrate it in song and dance, (kapa haka) but these are competitions, with different tribes competing to be the best, this is the best group in Aotearoa
I'm a Maori from nz g and no way you just explained us as a people , what you felt when you watched this was exactly what you were meant to feel my g it's how we are and our women do be bipolar like dat we don't fuck around hahaha
🤣 crack me up bro ✌ Bipolar is the word 👌 to describe our kapahaka. Pukana (eyes poped out) is what we do while we chant our ancestors Korero (talk) and waiata (song)
We also do this for competition against groups the same age Very few people produce them in studios but there is more Maori songs being released everyday, some NZ artists are even translating famous songs from around the world and back in those days we were scary people, but could also be the most gentle of people.
I gain from going to kapa haka events connection to my culture. I get to be entertained of course, watching over the internet is nothing to in-person as you can imagine.
its nice to see you more into this, from the first time i saw you seeing this the first time. if u ever have time, and you want to see more real maori upbringings, you should check out a show called Kairakau, and a netflix show called deadlands. i know if you enjoy watching maorians, you would really like those 2 shows.
There is a lot of amazing Maori music you can for sure listen to in the car. Check out Rob Ruha or Stan Walker's music. We have a lot of amazing Maori artists in NZ.
The moves and facials have a lot to do with what waiata is sung alot are past war or challenge like the haka should come to NZ and experience it in person u will feel the true emotions behind it absolutely beautiful and sad at the same time the chills u experience just watching it is nothing compared to being in front of it live
Dontn know you but mad impressed by your humility and secure character awesome to see u open ur heart to an indigineous lens- outside your norm. Polynesians navigated as far a Aotearoa New Zealand- from Hawaii and North America. The Maori have pure vocals and melodic by nature. Love how song and voice feature heavily in their culture. Its all Spirit Land Us.....Ataahua ratou reo! tino nui ataahua ratou waiata Come visit us yes f thisf that////lol 40:50!!! best bitdead!!!smh
Im glad u were enjoyin what u were watchin b, you guessed it ae you knew it was coming 😜 Red velvet with the black nikehoodie 👌🏽 niiyyccee 😏 Appreciate the long reaction 💚🇦🇺
I subscribed so I can help get you to doing that haka bro! Lesssgooooo or as we say in māori REHĒKŌ!! a more accurate term is KARAWHIUA which mean Go Hard

Awww see this is when the chills stay with ya ahahah especially understanding what they are talking bout shhit get emotional
Our Tupuna are all cousins 🤣☠️ it’s why us Kukis and Māori all speak the same just different speeds 😂 Kuki are the Tuakana tho 👀🤣☠️ just jokes
If only America allow the Navajos to let them thrive with their culture they'd be doing something similar like our Hawaiian whanau today.

This is a completion
Our kids do this from primary school it’s just a part of our life along with educational life at school. Then comps come in as they get older
When are we gonna tell him that there are mics right in front of them??😭🤣🤣
Kia Ora bro, what a crack up you are Twano 2am. Good you are watching one of our cultural practises and trying to understand our culture and who we are as a people. Us Maori look up to black people when it comes to R&B all music from black artist from America. You fallas are the greatest in the world for everything from sports to music, actors, academics etc.. We try to emulate black artist's and a lot of our modern music is influenced by black R&B artist. Keep watching and learning about us cuzzy. Mauri Ora bro... May wellness be upon you and your people.
Funniest part was you remembering the military and having to yell all the time 🤣🤣🤣 storytime? Lol
Lol do you really want a story time?
@@Twano2am I'd def watch it bro lol

Loving these vids watching all the way from New Zealand ☺️☺️☺️❤️❤️❤️ all love xo
Ok so im going to explain why they start of sweet and at the end they go hard
So the first waiata(song) is called the waiata tira(coral) the second song is the moteatea the moteatea is like a sweet chant and then the whakaeke(chant) and after the whakaeke its the waiata ringa after that its the poi(traditional wrist movment)after the poi its the boys item the haka and the poi is mainley for the boys to keep there wrist strong but now its for the girls and after the haka there is a whakawatea.or sometimes after the poi there is the patu and thats what the girls do and sometimes after the haka there is another chant or haka for the taiaha(traditional maori rakau) and ur welcome.
I've got a bunch on my spotify and listen often.
These songs are sacred to each Tribe. So you can see it on these channels but they are each tribes Taonga for them only. I could be wrong, but they are not like normal music. these come out in different Tribes for competition and they are telling their stories of their ancestors and their history.
Found this searching for their 2022 performance
Weird seeing my cuzzy being reacted to 🤣🤣
Oh wow love seeing my cousins up in the big screen they deserve it🥰
Re the shifts in energy.understanding energy and how to harness And use it is useful. Wairua proud of my family here.
Bro I love it how you ask for information on us poly people makes me proud. If you hear the word MANA bro it means pride my bro chur chur
you say we lucky to have that 1 young man on our side but truth is bro everyone who jumps up and gets to represent is just as proud as the next person we work hard to be up on that stage and they all deserve it
awesome attempt at our language bro better effort than people who live here❤
I like to watch your reactions bro I’m a Maori born and bred…it’s like the Shaka Zulu tribes of Africa …the cariagraphy is syncrinized how the African culture was displayed to entertain the viewers we were treated the same brother…..I love the African culture bro mad respect 🙏🙏I love my Maori culture bro we Maori try to keep our spirit strong (wairua)
As a New Zealander I really struggle with how slow Americans talk…. It gives me anxiety lol like the sloth in zootopia
Lols
The eyes open wide is called "pūkana" 😳 each item they perform has a name. The moteatea is a lament and it can show their ancestral angers 😠 😡 for past grievances. The pukana and facial expressions were used when they went to battle to scare their enemies
The zoom in on the face got me🤣🤣🤣 exactly my reaction when I first watched this🤣🤣
These songs are our traditional songs. They come from our ancestors. The Chants, The Haka, The poi, and the WIRIWIRI (wi ri wi ri) (the POI) which was originally swung by the men because it helped to keep their wrist strong to help achieve the cutting or slicing the PATU (greenstone/whale bone) like axe held in the hand and the TAIAHA(tie a ha)through your enemies head or body
We Israelites! More than likely you from the tribe of Judah Much Love and respect for the reaction.
Nah Shem is Asiatic. Your maori culture and tangaroa is satanic ancient babylonian culture influenced by nimrod who was black from the seed of ham. Jesus is from the line of Shem. You connect rest of the dots
@@raulmenedez2427 Nah not hamites at all our culture and all our practices and stories are shemetic and link up with scripture.
@@iwiatua6735 so how can you say that this guy is from Judah if he's clearly from ham
@@raulmenedez2427 If his ancestors were on slaveships and brought to America he’s from Judah.
@@iwiatua6735 Canaan is to be a servant
Yo I reckon you should react to Nga Puna O Waiorea 💯👍🏽
Your love for Aotearoa is crazy lol gotta love it
Thanks dude for allowing me to share a little about who we are as a being in TE AO (the world) MAORI
Thepart with the facial expressions is cslled the motete...pronounced more tear tear story of historic prestige what makes us us and how strongly we feel and how proud we are of the people thst csme before us and what they did.bragging rights
When they make their eyes big that means they are doing a pukana. The pukana is used as something to scare the opponent.
Can’t wait to see your #Haka brother !!
When she pops her eyes out it's called a Pukana, it's designed as a scare tactic to behead their enemy... The head in Māoridom is the most sacred part of the body..during war warriors would behead their enemy and take their heads as prize especially someone that is of some high rank.... chief...etc
We have a deep respect for our culture and celebrate it in song and dance, (kapa haka) but these are competitions, with different tribes competing to be the best, this is the best group in Aotearoa
I'm a Maori from nz g and no way you just explained us as a people , what you felt when you watched this was exactly what you were meant to feel my g it's how we are and our women do be bipolar like dat we don't fuck around hahaha
🖕😂😂😂 you're bipolar kieeent
@@0nlyT4y 😂😂crack up
It keeps your Culture Alive ✊🏾
A lot of us are tought kapa haka when we start primary school
Yuuuhp, I see you trying actions! My guy deffs wants to learn, love to see it cuz
They run heaps of competitions if you didn’t know my bro
2 years annually
1 year for Regionals
2nd for Nationals
You CMU with the bi-polar bit 🤣🤣🤣
My 12 year old son and 6 year old daughter go to this kūra (school) 🔥💯♥️
🤣 crack me up bro ✌ Bipolar is the word 👌 to describe our kapahaka. Pukana (eyes poped out) is what we do while we chant our ancestors Korero (talk) and waiata (song)
We also do this for competition against groups the same age
Very few people produce them in studios but there is more Maori songs being released everyday, some NZ artists are even translating famous songs from around the world
and back in those days we were scary people, but could also be the most gentle of people.
There’s 🎤 s in front all along the stage. 😊😊😊
for me bro watching my tribe or my schools makes me proud to be where I'm from but I get that from all kapa haka groups it's all about representing
I gain from going to kapa haka events connection to my culture. I get to be entertained of course, watching over the internet is nothing to in-person as you can imagine.
we have words in our REO(language) that sounds like we are cussing example: (WHAKA HOKI A MAI) translation=Back and Forth
its nice to see you more into this, from the first time i saw you seeing this the first time. if u ever have time, and you want to see more real maori upbringings, you should check out a show called Kairakau, and a netflix show called deadlands. i know if you enjoy watching maorians, you would really like those 2 shows.
We the Maori people do not have any swearing words what so ever in our language
There is a lot of amazing Maori music you can for sure listen to in the car. Check out Rob Ruha or Stan Walker's music. We have a lot of amazing Maori artists in NZ.
Nice job on the pronunciation bro. Churr🤙(cool,thank you)
This makes me so proud to be a NZer.
The moves and facials have a lot to do with what waiata is sung alot are past war or challenge like the haka should come to NZ and experience it in person u will feel the true emotions behind it absolutely beautiful and sad at the same time the chills u experience just watching it is nothing compared to being in front of it live
Dude this is the young peoples group, you haven't seen the adults group yet
and the rows represent your rank kinda thing if you front row you earnt that spot and your the man
the music youre after is waiata tereo
Dontn know you but mad impressed by your humility and secure character awesome to see u open ur heart to an indigineous lens- outside your norm. Polynesians navigated as far a Aotearoa New Zealand- from Hawaii and North America. The Maori have pure vocals and melodic by nature. Love how song and voice feature heavily in their culture. Its all Spirit Land Us.....Ataahua ratou reo! tino nui ataahua ratou waiata Come visit us yes f thisf that////lol 40:50!!! best bitdead!!!smh
You are absolutely correct the haka would be performed before battle
The purpose is to keep the Culture Alive.
Im glad u were enjoyin what u were watchin b, you guessed it ae you knew it was coming 😜
