The contrast of the men doing the ancient Haka with ties and in suit shirts makes it even more impressive. It shows that this tradition will outlast time and space and as long as these people honor the traditions of their ancestors, their ancestors will never die. They are alive in every movement of these men.

Oh Lizzy you are spot on. It is a call to all current whanau (family) and to our ancestors to unite with us. If you look up the Maori battalion, they did the same thing (a call for strength & support) prior to going in to die for a war that wasn't theirs. Very humbling. Proud to be Maori. Kia kaha Lizzy (stand strong)
It is dance Dance this is a tribal tribal theme and it goes as far as and they say grandparents grandparents great-grandparents to the great-grandparents pickles as far as back this is tradition all of it

So so powerful. As Human Beings, we must ensure never to lose the ability to connect with our souls like this. The Haka is one of the most emotional connections we have
It is just a privilege to watch. I am a black Canadian and I respect this type of celebration of life enough to want to learn how to do it! Seriously. When traveling opens back up and coronavirus is a memory, I'm going to New Zealand! Time to find some Maori brothers and sisters.

I am not from NZ, I have no familial ties, but the Hakka speaks to me on a spiritual (deep deep in my soul) level. Love seeing it always brings me to tears.
Idk why, but every time i see any Haka performance on TH-cam, i can feel that my blood is got boiled. The tension, the power, it's really got me.

Also you dont often see people connect on this level anymore so it can be overwhelming but in a good way.

Bah já vivi esse momento no passado mto distante. Como pode eu me emocionar tanto com a energia desse ritual música e dança sendo de outro país e continente. Só tenho a agradecer por manter essa tradição tão antigo dos nossos antepassados. Grande abraço do Brasil e ainda vou conhece no nova Zelândia.
It means you are connected to it from your ancestors the goosebumps you feel the sudden burst of emotional strength is them coming out of you no matter what nationality your are if you connect to it like that. That's what a haka means
Akif Rahman referring to your post:Let’s just say this. All of us are from “New Zealand.” I’m sure u are. You probably have a little New Zealand in u. I am. If u know what I mean...😜😜😜 Ps. This is just a joke. Please don’t take this serious.
I am from the states, the southern states. I find this to be so incredibly moving, and beautiful and awe inspired! I have seen several Haka preformed on TH-cam and it just grabbed me by the heart the first time I saw it. I looked up the meanings, the words the symbolism of it...BREATHTAKING! BEAUTIFUL! Sooo incredibly moving! Thank you for sharing your beautiful culture .
When you see one done in person its moving. My cousins done a haka for my lil bros wedding and the emotion and strength resonating of each of them left me in tears. It's a different feeling when performing one though, awesome to be on both sides
We as a species have been doing this sort of thing for tens of thousands of years, it speaks to the deepest part our souls even if we don't know the words.
Fantastic!! I love it!! I'm an italian rugby player and just watching the haka by the All Blacks is incredible each time, but after this I say: NZ is beatiful and also all the people who live there. I want to visit this wonderfull country once, certanly, in my life!! Respect!! #loveNZ❤
Why does this Haka send a shiver down my spine every time I watch it, incredible passion. One day I would love to be able to see a haka in the flesh and feel that passion. It must have been incredible to be in that room.
Потрясающе!!!! Аж дрожь берёт. Настоящие мужики, как одна семья, как единый организм. Такая энергетика исходит. А с каким восхищением на них смотрят женщины. МОЛОДЦЫ !!!!!
As American I have always we had a dance that connected our people together. I was born in the South where probably half the population does not due to religion. This dance, the respect and the tradition made me cry. I pray the wedding couple are well.
I know nothing of the culture, yet am so intrigued by this practice and, quite frankly, could run thru an eff'ing wall right now I'm so amped. Wish the couple the best.
Amazing!!! Hello everyone. I'd like to make this haka here in Madagascar. Can someone give me the lyrics and it's English translation. Thanks in advance.
Damn... that is probably the best wedding entrance I have ever seen! love the tribal essence! No one will mess with his bride... shiet! awesome awesome stuff!
I absolutely love watching this tradition still being honored, makes me wish I was from that culture!! The very best part to me is the crazy eyes and them sticking out their tongues!! Oh, and if that bride isn't a model she's missed her calling!! She's beyond gorgeous!!
I always love it when I see people remember their roots. We Africans are traditional people and I always admire others foreigners that still know and identify with their tradition. It is a true identity of who we are, its nature is history of thousands of years past still abiding in our ways and livelihood. Bless all tribes on the face of the earth🙂
Brother I am from Aotearoa nz and I'm Maori. We are all from Afrika the motherland brother ... We just travelled further from home to the true garden of Eden
Absolutely amazing! I love to see you people celebrating the Haka! You guys are awesome and i hope you keep living your culture and traditions and teach it to your childrens....that's what makes you unique! Greetz and love from Germany!
Why do I get so emotional every time I watch haka??brings me to tears and I am from the other end of the world. Maybe I have Maori blood in my veins ...RESPECT
Watched this while waiting in my honda civic as my wife went shopping. When she came back out, i was sitting in an Abrams battle tank. How'd that happen?
Watching yr Maori traditions nd yr Haka,s that spirit go, s right thru me. And I'm thousands of miles away from U in South Africa. Since young I always read about The Maori, s nd was always fascinated until much later the day came when I saw it live for the very first time it completely blew me away so immersed I was in it.
It's an amazing demonstration of an ancient tradition of their culture. It is very impressive and definitely raises curiosity about it's meaning and the Culture itself. Very Cool - Thank you for sharing.
@@deadnumber1 y eh asi cuando uno no se apropia de la cultura de otros paises, si no que se adapta y aprende de ella, porque si asi fuera mexico se apropio de muchas cultura estadounidense
Pienso que la situación importa mucho: Por ejemplo vez gente que lleva viviendo en Nueva Zelanda por años (algunos misioneros o estudiantes por ejemplo) y se unen a la Haka. Lo que es muy diferente a yo mexicana sin saber porque o para que se hace un Haka, o sin hablar Maorí, decido porque si que me hagan una Haka el día de mi boda. Lo cual yo lo veo increíblemente irrespetuoso. Estoy casada con un Coreano y vivimos en Corea.. el día de nuestra boda tuvimos una ceremonia de té y reverencias a nuestras familias tradicionales.. pero ahora imagínate a mi hermana se casa un irlandés y deciden ponerse un traje tradicional Coreano, o Japonés, o Chino y hacer lo mismo. Seria como una burla, no?
OMG! I can only imagine having the honor to witness a Haka in person. It must be so amazing. The power, and emotion coming from these brothers who are celebrating one of their own. So beautiful.
I was born and raised in NYC, my mom was born in Puerto Rico and my father in Dominican Republic. But when I hear The Haka I get soo emotional, I wanna cry, I wanna scream, I want to cry, this emotion that goes through my body. My family looks at me like "Why u get like that?"
We all come from the one creator Sister. We Maori have never forgotten who we are and our relationship with all God's creations. Much love to you and your family.
Beautiful to see how people still continue their traditions in these modern days. Never forget where you come from.

Her: "Let's go to my cousin's wedding."
Me: "Sure, I'd love to meet your family"
Me at the wedding: 😵😵😵
OMG that's me... I used to film weddings and I'd always be crying behind my camera!
Bah já vivi esse momento no passado mto distante. Como pode eu me emocionar tanto com a energia desse ritual música e dança sendo de outro país e continente. Só tenho a agradecer por manter essa tradição tão antigo dos nossos antepassados. Grande abraço do Brasil e ainda vou conhece no nova Zelândia.
See you here brother! and listen to our full version of New Zealand national anthem and you'll know why
I think I am supposed to be from NZ because Haka does something to my soul!!
Me too, whenever I watch haka it fills me up with a very powerful surges of energy
Something about awakens some deep tribal dna. Or it shows how we are all one.
Facts!!!
It means you are connected to it from your ancestors the goosebumps you feel the sudden burst of emotional strength is them coming out of you no matter what nationality your are if you connect to it like that. That's what a haka means
Me too man. I feel so much connected and into this.
One of the very few things you cant do half heartedly.
Didnt know my neighbours upstairs were from new zealand...
😂😂
@Chokyi Nima they probably very loud lol
Not funny
Akif Rahman referring to your post:Let’s just say this. All of us are from “New Zealand.” I’m sure u are. You probably have a little New Zealand in u. I am. If u know what I mean...😜😜😜
Ps. This is just a joke. Please don’t take this serious.
I'm dead. :))))
Такие красивые люди, какое счастье, что они сберегли свою культуру, танцы, обычаи.
I am from the states, the southern states. I find this to be so incredibly moving, and beautiful and awe inspired! I have seen several Haka preformed on TH-cam and it just grabbed me by the heart the first time I saw it. I looked up the meanings, the words the symbolism of it...BREATHTAKING! BEAUTIFUL! Sooo incredibly moving! Thank you for sharing your beautiful culture .
It's even better in person, I'll tell you that. To me, the videos never really do much justice for the real thing
Cari D k
When you see one done in person its moving. My cousins done a haka for my lil bros wedding and the emotion and strength resonating of each of them left me in tears. It's a different feeling when performing one though, awesome to be on both sides
Me: *is a white girl from europe*
Also me: starts crying watching a different culture's ritual
@@skuhh2784 s h a m e l e s s
I remember you
Whoa I've been watching some haka videos and I'm kinda crying my eyes out right know. Something about this is so moving to me
We as a species have been doing this sort of thing for tens of thousands of years, it speaks to the deepest part our souls even if we don't know the words.
Honestly same here
Fantastic!! I love it!! I'm an italian rugby player and just watching the haka by the All Blacks is incredible each time, but after this I say: NZ is beatiful and also all the people who live there. I want to visit this wonderfull country once, certanly, in my life!! Respect!! #loveNZ❤
Nothing beats the hakka to stir emotions and I'm not even from NZ.respect from the UK. 👍👍
Why does this Haka send a shiver down my spine every time I watch it, incredible passion. One day I would love to be able to see a haka in the flesh and feel that passion. It must have been incredible to be in that room.
I love when people express their culture in such a positive and beautiful way.
Все очень красивые люди! Молодожены и их гости! Приятно смотреть!!🤗
Танец хака супер!
Ага,прикинь у нас так же было бы🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Потрясающе!!!! Аж дрожь берёт. Настоящие мужики, как одна семья, как единый организм. Такая энергетика исходит. А с каким восхищением на них смотрят женщины. МОЛОДЦЫ !!!!!
Хоть где-то на западе обитают рил мэнс...
I have nothing to do with your culture, I'm Latina, every time I see a haka I cry like a baby, really impressive, thanks for sharing
I thought I was the only one. I’m Puerto Rican and I always tear up.
Calmate pendeja
I have grown up with this culture and I love it. It’s so masculine! So powerful and moving. So happy other cultures love it too 🥰
"There you go, world. You will never be this awesome."
Congratulations both of you and thank you for this amazing video.
I don't know why, but I'm crying ...😭😭very beautiful
A sério não consegui conter as lágrimas. Parabéns aos noivos. Muita emoção envolvida neste vídeo
Me too. And I've seen this haka so many times through my life. It's the energy
As American I have always we had a dance that connected our people together. I was born in the South where probably half the population does not due to religion. This dance, the respect and the tradition made me cry. I pray the wedding couple are well.
I absolutely love this haka. It's so powerful and totally in sync. Awesome! Can't get enough of it. :-)
Alexandra Montanus hi, you might want to check out "Auckland 2017 Maori Haka" one of the best.
I know nothing of the culture, yet am so intrigued by this practice and, quite frankly, could run thru an eff'ing wall right now I'm so amped. Wish the couple the best.
Amazing!!! Hello everyone. I'd like to make this haka here in Madagascar. Can someone give me the lyrics and it's English translation. Thanks in advance.
😂😂👍👍
No idea what they are saying. No idea about any of that. But I want to run through a brick wall
A traditional wedding Haka is basically saying be a good man and do what is right.
its to show respect.
Jack 😂😂😂😂😂
the haka is two fold here first it's the bride's family asking the groom is he worthy of this women, the groom responds by copying the haka
This is one of the funniest things ive ever read and i completely agree
I’m at a lost for words...my spirit feels like it’s on fire.
Then every female within a 10 mile radius became pregnant.
Awesome stuff! Congrats to you both ;]
Haha testosterone flying around everywhere
Ash lin LOL 😂😂
melhor comentário ever !!!!
Meu país não conhece isso ........vergonha eu sinto.....
Michael Jarrett hahaha i love this comment
Its crazy how it makes people from all different walks of life feel something. Its really deep. An contagious makes you wanna do it too!!!
Damn... that is probably the best wedding entrance I have ever seen! love the tribal essence! No one will mess with his bride... shiet! awesome awesome stuff!
Everytime I watch one of these, my emotions get the best of me....these are incredible 😢😢😢
Love the Cook Island & Maori culture.. beautiful wedding, she did an amazing job dancing to the COOK ISLAND drums 👍..MAORI haka was on flick 👌
Here I am crying my eyes out . I felt every movement and shout in my whole soul . Beautiful!!!!!!
To the Maori this Yank salutes you. I love seeing people who take pride and enjoyment in their own and other cultures.
@Worzal Gummidge yep.
I absolutely love watching this tradition still being honored, makes me wish I was from that culture!! The very best part to me is the crazy eyes and them sticking out their tongues!! Oh, and if that bride isn't a model she's missed her calling!! She's beyond gorgeous!!
I always love it when I see people remember their roots. We Africans are traditional people and I always admire others foreigners that still know and identify with their tradition. It is a true identity of who we are, its nature is history of thousands of years past still abiding in our ways and livelihood. Bless all tribes on the face of the earth🙂
Brother I am from Aotearoa nz and I'm Maori. We are all from Afrika the motherland brother ... We just travelled further from home to the true garden of Eden
Absolutely amazing! I love to see you people celebrating the Haka! You guys are awesome and i hope you keep living your culture and traditions and teach it to your childrens....that's what makes you unique! Greetz and love from Germany!
Why do I get so emotional every time I watch haka??brings me to tears and I am from the other end of the world. Maybe I have Maori blood in my veins ...RESPECT
Pozdrowienia z Polski dla Maorysów z Nowej Zelandii,piękna kultura i język. Niech żyje Para młodych
Watched this while waiting in my honda civic as my wife went shopping. When she came back out, i was sitting in an Abrams battle tank. How'd that happen?
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This comment almost made me pee myself
That was awesome! I looove "toxic" masculinity! LOL!
Idk why I always cry and get so emotional when I see these videos of when they perform Haka 😭❤️ this is not my culture but it’s so beautiful
love from india, amazing culture and tradition, good to see some people respect their tradition and take it forward, god bless you!
Watching yr Maori traditions nd yr Haka,s that spirit go, s right thru me. And I'm thousands of miles away from U in South Africa. Since young I always read about The Maori, s nd was always fascinated until much later the day came when I saw it live for the very first time it completely blew me away so immersed I was in it.
i love this. i wish Americans could be this awesome
killuminate peacefulness we are in our own way
I think Americans are awesome, I've been to the US twice and if someone wanted to trade passports I'd take them up on that offer lol.
The Native American awesome at this , what are you talking about .
killuminate peacefulness Native Americans to way more tasteful and less embarrassing things than this.
They have also have the "watcha wep. Watcha ney ney" don't worry.
It's an amazing demonstration of an ancient tradition of their culture. It is very impressive and definitely raises curiosity about it's meaning and the Culture itself.
Very Cool - Thank you for sharing.
Dude it is so frustrating because im a mexican who actually would loved to do this! Is just no one would join me haha 😭
Riiight!!! Like I want my family to do these type of things for me!
We on the same boat buddy, it gives me the chills just by watching Haka videos that i want to learn it
No, porque sería apropiación cultural.
@@deadnumber1 y eh asi cuando uno no se apropia de la cultura de otros paises, si no que se adapta y aprende de ella, porque si asi fuera mexico se apropio de muchas cultura estadounidense
Pienso que la situación importa mucho:
Por ejemplo vez gente que lleva viviendo en Nueva Zelanda por años (algunos misioneros o estudiantes por ejemplo) y se unen a la Haka.
Lo que es muy diferente a yo mexicana sin saber porque o para que se hace un Haka, o sin hablar Maorí, decido porque si que me hagan una Haka el día de mi boda.
Lo cual yo lo veo increíblemente irrespetuoso.
Estoy casada con un Coreano y vivimos en Corea.. el día de nuestra boda tuvimos una ceremonia de té y reverencias a nuestras familias tradicionales.. pero ahora imagínate a mi hermana se casa un irlandés y deciden ponerse un traje tradicional Coreano, o Japonés, o Chino y hacer lo mismo. Seria como una burla, no?
I love to see how that kid perfoms the Haka with so much passion. It shows how proud he is of his heritage ❤️❤️❤️
I'm not from New Zealand, but this is really amazing. Got goosebumps, congrats to the newly weds
Karim Iskandarani you play rainbow six siege dont you
Amazing and powerful. I wish we could see the bride's Kurdish dance with her mother. Thank you for sharing.
OMG! I can only imagine having the honor to witness a Haka in person. It must be so amazing. The power, and emotion coming from these brothers who are celebrating one of their own. So beautiful.
I was born and raised in NYC, my mom was born in Puerto Rico and my father in Dominican Republic. But when I hear The Haka I get soo emotional, I wanna cry, I wanna scream, I want to cry, this emotion that goes through my body. My family looks at me like "Why u get like that?"
We all come from the one creator Sister. We Maori have never forgotten who we are and our relationship with all God's creations. Much love to you and your family.
@@kinasandwich7624 Thanks. Many BLESSINGS for you and you're family!
