Bob Marley loved maori and our culture. It was his favorite part of his tour. Maori welcomed him as well....that is why reggae is so steeped in our music. Just listen to our bands Six sixty, 1814, Herbs, Katchafire, House of Shem, Fat Freddie's Drop, Kora and L.A.B. All awesome 👌 just to name a few.
You dont need to understand what they are saying. You can feel their culture exude from their body and in to your soul. The goosebumps you feel is your own cultural soul reacting within. The energy you feel when haka is performed is your cultural ancestry awakening within. There are many kapa haka groups on youtube for you to watch, react and feel. And welcome on your journey x
Performed by 16-18yo's. I love how New Zealand embraces first nation culture. Blessings from Australia. (loved your thoughts about 'happy transition/transcend)
The RIP song was a dedication song to their deceased, and it was a celebration of their lives and the earnest hope of the kids to be like those that passed because they were exemplars in the community. I am fluent in te reo Māori.
@@jordyharlem patupaiarehe are in fact real beings and we’re here before us! Our people slept with them! Do your research! There are full maori with light hair! Maori blonde hair is a light brownish hair!
First waiata/song is based off of Demi Levato - Stonecold. 10 mins is Sarah McLachlan - Angel and Maori are totally about sending the spirit off on it's journey ki tua o te arai - beyond the veil.
We didn't have a written language way back before colonization, Dance and Song was and still is used as our form of books to tell our stories, as people feel from our songs especially the haka certain feels but don't understand, we watch and read everyone's expressions and texting to know that you get it, either from a drop of a tear or that beautiful smile and excitement in your eye..Churr Kia Ora 😉
the symbols on the face were able to be read tho, some people can still read a bit of it. i understand certain symbols in moko kauae describing if a women is an only child or is the youngest of her siblings.
The women can do amazingly dexterous feats too. I've seen videos of the ladies performing with 'bolos' and 'short batons' (sorry don't know the words), tossing them back and forth and doing 'percussion' stuff. It's amazing to watch.
I watched a Maori woman in her 70s take down a 2 dan black belt with rakau (batons) as a proof and response to his mocking when he was told the childs stick game was used as preparation for combat training.
He mihi aroha kia korua mo to korero whakanuia me ahua tautoko o Te Ao Maori nei! Big loves to you both for the words n love shared for our culture of us Maori!!!! Paimarire!
my fave part of being in kapa haka is the energy and the vibes you can let off when singing this one time we were singing a waiata (Song) and we didnt sound to good so our tutor said think of the person you love the most and if you one day lost them making us all appreciate each other and when we sung we sounded perfect he said we were all crying and hugging each other.
Us Native/Maori are very spiritual people. When we perform kapaz the feeling in the body feels so good and makes us feel very proud. We carry our loved ones who have passed with us everywhere we go. What you feel inside is a spiritual connection you have with us. We are all one at that end of the day regardless of race. #ONELOVE
I was watching a random yt channel and yours came up..now I'm a subscriber because of all the review channels who review my Wonderful people MAORI your channel understands our Tikanga and the Respect we Maori give to Ours My Koro said "We are free" "Let them Educate us" My Koro did not tell me this as he died the year I was born..He said that to my pakeha "Foreign" Nan and that Lady was so respected she is buried in a Maori Urapa..
Hey Guys just wanna a massive " KIAORA " (Good life) in maori to u both.. Yr reaction is Heart Warming towards our culture! Nga Mihi Nui kia kourua (Many Greetings to you both)
There are white Maori's out in the world, just saying, I'm a white Maori and I feel like absolute shit when people think "oh she white that means she isn't maori" but ike nothing against you guys, just saying, the colour of your skin doesn't determine race
Haka is meant for war. But what they just done was Kapahaka and it makes your wairua stronger meaning your soul and heart. Kapahaka is a show for entertainment, love, and respect to whom ever may be watching. KiaOra/ThankYou😌😄
there are many Maaori competitions in NZ, all the tribes around nz create kapahaka (performing groups) to compete in these competitions bc performing is one of our most ancient traditions, we would perform to people on special occasions. when visitors are getting them a plate of food or entering the wharekai (kitchen/eating house) a group of people who are from that marae will sing songs for them until they have gotten their plates. alot of schools create kapa aswell and maaori can join their schools kapa aswell as their tribes kapa to perform at these competitions, this is just one of the performances, Te Matatini is for teenagers and adults and is for the best kapa of these competitions around the country, its basically the finale of all comps. Mana Kuratahi is the kids version of Te Matatini and has kids performing and displaying their skills.
kapa means group or team who are lead by 2 Kaia (leaders) a Kaitataki Tane (male leader) and Kaitataki Wahine (women leader), in the past their were taua (armys) led by Ariki (Chief), Tohunga (Specialist in weaponry, speech, war, peacemaking, history, knowledge, etc. - the Ng sound is like that of a N, there is no actual G sound in the word), and specific warriors to teach and strengthen certain daily activities such as fast paddling on War canoes or running for days on empty stomachs. nowadays there is no real need for that so we still have ariki, tohunga, kairakau, kaikorero, kaikarakia, and i'd say almost most of what we had before colonisation, just we no longer kill other tribes (a upside), or live one with nature (a downside) and we are no longer one with eachother really, bc the way of life has changed and you must get a job to feed your children unlike before when vegetables, fruit, birds, seafood, etc were abundant for all people for free. also our values aren't followed by many maaori anymore, some are, manaakitanga (taking care of everyone dispite who the person is), and kotahitanga (unity), the maaori values are all around good things, so it makes sense why the gov didn't want us following it and believing we are all about anger and rage and sticking to that mindset themselves by denying the realm of Rongo, when Maaori were actually all about peace but were trained in war from childhood incase their people was to be invaded, haka was created to instill fear in the opponent but the hope was also that the enemy would want to make peace from the hakas intimidation.
I saw that you picked up on there being a pakaha (white) person in the group. My moko (granddaughter) is in Kapa Haka (performing arts) at her school and she is lilly white and she takes so much mana (pride) in performing.
These kids have drawn on tā moko, but some will get their own personalised moko and moko kauae (chin moko for women) later on. Each is unique, and contains the whakapapa of the individual. They’re really beautiful, and are only now being restored after many decades of colonialist bollocks trying to squash the culture. Kapa haka means dancing in lines. These performances always make me mist up. Waiata (songs) are interleaved with haka (dances).
However beautiful the song; it will only be a tune to someone who does not understand the MEANING...KIA ORA( THANK YOU )..???? You might be interested reacting to Stan Walker .As with this kapa haka group, , the bro is a Maori descendant..check out his ULTRALIGHT BEAM..LIVE [ Kanye West ] cover..
@@terangiwalker7550 Maybe your iwi cant. But where im from, all Maoris can sing. The worst singers can still hold a note. The ones that cant hold a note a urbanised Maori.
@@ernienicholas1812 Damn that's some weird shade your throwing. How are you that triggered? And that hateful to Urban Maori? Shit. You realise Urban Maori take the brunt of pakeha hate right? Also cool, I'll let all of Nga Puhi and all of Ngati Kahungnunu they suck at singing.
I love watching Americans react to New Zealand stuff 😄😄

This is a National competition, they are judged on each individual song/ haka. They are compulsory items to perform.
Ah no. They can’t all sing.
