Kapa Haka is the collection of songs and dance vs the Haka the world sees. Kapa haka is the intrinsic link we have to our ancestors, genealogy and culture. Kapa Haka encompasses sets/ brackets that usually have an entrance song, a choral song, a chant, an action song, a poi - usually flirtatous, a haka and an exit song. There are competitions at school level, adults, within our tribal regions and nationally to represent those regions. The brackets can talk about issues of the time, political or otherwise or to acknowledge history. Maori is an official language of our Country and we have total immersion language schools from preschool, to High School and we also have Maori based Universities in mainstream curriculum.❤️
Thanks for sharing with us!
Maori Queen Te Atairangikaahu. Ensured the Colonist educated the Tangata Whenua tamariki. Our Maori Queen loved her people, she loved the tamariki/mokpuna. Nga mihi Queen Te Atairangikaahu 🖤🤍❤️
Ae, waiata a ringa (action song) = usually happy and upbeat. Waiata tira (choral song) = upbeat or sad with love energy. Moteatea = usually sad telling a story of an incident or just a song made to mantain knowledge. Haka = Anger I guess. Poi = flirtatious. But most of these can vary depending on the meaning they convey
Wananga would be the entirety. As your stay with Kaumatua, Kaiako, or Leaders of your tribes and live how your ancestors did.
These are our kids - high school students. They're at adult calibre now. Our kids are brought up with their culture, especially this kapa group. If you can feel the items they sing and dance, then they're giving it justice. A lot of our songs portray today and past events, tell our stories of our ancestors.
From one indigenous mob to another I love the Haka 🫶🏽 this gave me goosebumps.
Kapa Haka is part of the reason why Parris Goebal and the Royal Family Dance crew Dominated world hip hop dance scene for years . Timing and transitions . I love the similarities between NZ Maori and other Native peoples of the pacific including American and Canadian Natives , we belong to the land the land doesn,t belong to us .
@9.09 .They sing in mourning to a very well known beautiful woman from their tribe who passed also one of tgeir elders, they ask that their spirits return to them her/his family who are left behind and lament their absence, they say in sweetness, that although his/ her body had left from sight that ther spirits, her beauty thier bloodline remains with them her many children, it us an an ode, they rejoice that she has joined her many ancestors that sit on the pae o tihi (heavens bench) they wait for her, as they wait for us all. They hear us she hears us. It is a beautiful tribute.
Kia ora awesome reaction great to see others appreciate our culture. Māori love sharing who we are with the World!
You felt the Wairua (spirit)☺
Love your reaction at 2:36. That first song is a prayer really. So here is a rough translation of what I could hear:
"May your glory and your spirit pour down upon your people the blessings of heaven.
Peace be upon the earth, God's blessing from heaven.
...looked at the sky above them and cried God listen to your people."
Some parts I couldn't quite make out but that is roughly what they are saying. ☺
When you decide to come to Aotearoa (New Zealand) time it for when our national maori competition is on. Ask online how do you get tickets and one of our whanau (family) will embrace you. You need to experience this live at be there to feel and understand it hosted by a maori whanau (family). I belive you have support already in Aotearoa ❤
NZ is rich with culture and not just our own, its interesting to hear in your schools that other cultures aren't taught? My daughter (11) just this week celebrated Diwali.. The whole school came together and celebrated as one.. Off the top of my head her school has also celebrated Chinese new year, Maori language week, Samoan language week, Matariki (Maori New year) and so many more...
Sounds great! Many usa states are banning books and curriculum content - there is intense whyte -washing going on Many of us are working against the extension of colonizer culture.
The two you are asking about that are dressed in our cultures ( korowai )” dresscode from different areas of the country but they are the leaders of their group which have been hand picked from there tutors who teach them songs, choreography and dresscode … hope this helps this is all taught and learnt over a matter of weeks and months. And what your definitely feeling is the( wairua) which is the spirit the everything around us ❤️❤️❤️
Chea too much for showing our culture on a big platform like yours ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Kia ora. That thing at the start that you said you felt. In our language we call the wairua. It's a spiritual connection to everything believe in.
Despite the technological, sociological and political advances/changes happening in the world, they still have their culture and people on their backs and carry it with pride. I love that. Thanks for reacting.
Awwww😢😢😢 beautiful reaction my people. Lovely watching people enjoy our culture. Luv yous❤❤kiaora
Maori Wahine (Women), where they have beautiful voices one minute, but are just as ferocious and fearless as the men the very next minute. 🔥
The songs we sing is about our history, during the war , our ancestors went through
The spear like weapon used in this haka is called a taiaha, it was never ever thrown by warriors and chiefs of war armys because it was seen as sacred, it was fought hand to hand in a fast battle which could only be fought by warriors trained to have fast reflexes which was basically every Māori man except the slaves of tribes, there are hardly any videos of taiaha fighting because it is seen as scared but in real life it is so crazy, like the matrix agents fighting type shit but I thought I just mention that every weapon was fought in hand to hand combat except one which was called the koikoi
Nice you mentioned the Koikoi.
Wow, a comment for a year ago 🤣 I ended up in the streets a couple years before this and sort of disconnected a bit from my people. It's shown in the comment by the way I'm speaking. Luckily my Grandfather called me back to retrace his footsteps to get to the point of leading my people as I held the ending of the half stories specific people held and the knowledge to be passed down again in the never ending chain from the dawn of mans creation. I was around alot of gangs and drugs but being raised by my Grandfather, i never became heartless and always thought about things, like when people of my grouos whre robbing id think about how the people worked for that stuff, etc. Without our traditions, without ny Grandfather I would still be there. I still greet them ofc as I know of duality. But I don't put myself in the same situations. All of us in my great family and all those who knew my Grandfather described him as Love.
I LOVED your reactions, thank you both for watching all the way through. Your questions were so genuine and interesting to hear, loved it.
Kia Ora! All school children perform in Kapa Haka competition and love it 🌿♥️🇳🇿
We have a very special culture (Maori), and they are wearing what we would consider our ceremonial dress, or Kakahu. Kapahaka competitions began in the 1970's and were a form of protest for our people against the things our government were putting us through and also served as a way to bring our people together to spread word to the rest of the country about issues that would arise. Our people are an oral people and through our language, songs and haka we keep our history and traditions alive. Today Kapahaka still lives on strong and it still serves a place to bring our people together in both celebration and in grievance ❤
As Someone who watches Kapahaka every single day I got to say I love watching Non Maoris watch it as well its so amazing seeing how much yous love it!!
Tino!! Great performance. However, YOU TWO😅😂, YOUR FACES!!! 😍🎉.
Kiaora you pair. You done well haha.
Love that you guys have interest in this ❤
Finally fully embracing our indigenous peoples culture along with all others that choose Aotearoa/New Zealand home makes me proud to be a Kiwi. The more diverse our whanau/family the better we are. Come and join us.
I love seeing people expanding their horizons. It brings me immense joy ❤❤❤ alofa atu
He is our tresure from Aotearoa / nz ❤
I'm a cook islander came to nz when I was 9yrs old but I was always called coconut but when I said this, I'm human as you are same colour no different from you, your ancestors came from the island
craziest thing about this performance is the amount of running and jumping and guttural screaming but still able to hold beautiful notes
Kapa Haka is in most mainstream schools here in New Zealand. Which is fantastic for keeping our Whakapapa ( ancestry ) alive throughout the generations. My mokopuna ( grandchildren ) absolutely love it.
They’re adults now 🥰🥰🥰 some live in Aus nowadays 😢❤
Atamarie Kōrua (morning to both of you), I am Māori indigenous to Aotearoa (Land of the white long cloud) New Zealand. Reasoning behind the different male and female dressed in the kakahu korowai (clothing wrap), so everyone including the roopu (group), know who are the leaders. They are called Kaia. The males have a Kaia, and the females have one also. They keep structure and leadership within the roopu. Love your aroha (love) for our culture.
Māori are the most ataahua (beutiful) songbirds of Aotearoa, but then can be quiet fierce in battle when they are trying to protect, agreeing and let you know how that particular Iwi (region) rolls 😇
I am a Pakeha New Zealander (ie. Caucasian), and let me tell ... I feel it. It is pure.
Hey guys I’m from New Zealand soooo men and women around there shoulders it’s called a korowai it’s a Maori tradition and to perform haha and thank you loving Maori culture 🙏🏼😄😄😄
All I know about kapa haka is some of the origins like kapa haka was created to connect to gods and to dance and entertain and the other side of kapa haka was created a lot later when a war broke out when settlers came to nz trying to claim the land and Māoris attacked the settlers come back with muskets and that’s where a war breaks out and since the Māoris are at a clear disadvantage since they only had spears they would use hakas to scare their enemies by hitting themselves with their weapons on the head and now kapa haka is used to connect to our gods our roots and our ancestors
Firstly I would like to thank you both for watching our culture as we are the people of the land Aotearoa New Zealand, the Male and Female wearing the different dress they are the Manakura Tane and Manakura Wahine the leaders of the group
Te Wharekura O Hoani Waititi
this group is also good at haka abit more hardcore
Would love to see your reaction to
Ka Hao 35, Ka Manu or Stan Walker Aotearoa any one... Different type of maori music for you
You guys should watch the Te Matatini Nationals those performances are amazing as well and their our Adult teams from all over NZ and some from overseas it’s absolutely amazing to watch and listen to. ❤ These you’re watching now are our babies and their just beautiful and also amazing ❤
In the arms of an angel.😢
You guys are awesome ❤❤ keep up the good work ❤❤
so basically the reason the men and women are dressed different is because thats how me used to dress and the Koro was is to show who is the Kaia or the leader of the haha or kapa haha in this case ka pai whanau
Dam, i love my culture, my country o Aotearoa, my people
Damn I know I'm late. But thank you! For my watching my people my culture ❤. You have a new subscriber in me. ❤
We owe our freedom to them.. many died.. but they struck fear in to anyone facing them. With a dance .. and a song How about that ? But they are badass. and they scare me too :)
the photo is talei Morrison the girl is holding, sorry i idk know who the boy is hold. they both have passed on.
The melody is in the arms of an Angel
WOW, awesome performance.
The Demouchets - FYI if you are curious! Australia in 2017, The Indigenous life expectancy in the cities at birth was estimated to be 72 years for Indigenous males and 77 years for Indigenous females. As this data is from 2017 the life expectancy could have risen. ........... United States 2021 Life expectancy for the U.S. population in 2021 was 76.4 years, As this data is from 2021 the life expectancy could have risen.
Thanks for sharing with us!
I am nearly 60 and im learning my maori language. 8m lo 8ng watching kapa haka wit u guys
Can y’all please react to Te Maurea Whiritoi 2023? It’s one of the best Kapa Haka performances
as a proud kiwi I love it that you enjoy it.. a bit different eh!
This is funny to watch since im a kapa haka peformer who performed for te whanau o te maro hauhake in 2022 to 2023 so pls react to 2023 te maro pls its on youtube
did they just sang In the Arms on an Angel?
Man, this reminds me of home ❤
The man with the coat Is called kaitataki tane
I can even hear Mama Africa 🖤🖤
We are everything beautiful in the world but, we can and will become everything horrific in the world when it comes to War. We are the reflection of all things living, and not when it comes to War.
If a man or women is dressed differently in a kapa haka, they are usually the leaders that leads the tribe. They have a special role in the haka.
The man and woman dressed differently are the leaders of the group. They do a 6-7 item bracket starting with a Choral (optional) to warm up.
The maori race is amazing ❤ They are raised so young to be resilient and powerful in both body and mind and they are only getting stronger.
New zealand of all the western colonised countries has probably the best connection with the indigenous culture and peope unlike any i have seen from other western countries. Kapa Haka competitions are more commonplace
It's a New Zealand High School competition. They are called Kapa Haka Groups
Watch an all boys school in Nz celebrating someone it’s impressive teenage boys
“we should not be in our 30s just now learning their culture.” poly’s to the world💯
Those dressed different are the leaders. Female/wahine and male/tāne
The black cloak and the brown cloak that only one male and female are wearing is called a 'Korowai'. They used this as a way to differentiate them from the entire group because they are the kaitātaki Tāne and Wahine, the male and female leader of the group. There are many different ways that rōpu/groups use to show who's the leaders, I've seen some groups use different hair accessories, or a different piupiu, which is the skirt like garment that they're wearing.
The first one is a Demi Levato melody “I'm happy for you” .Wonder who originally developed it?
Another great kapa haka to watch is Te whanau O te maro hauke. They’re intermediate schools ( around 10-12 years old).
People in photo frames are passed loved ones 🥹💕
8:35 he tangi te ngakau means my soul is hurting
We are all planted in the soil of our ancestors and when the soil is churned the fruits of our cultures rise from within along with our mana of our kupuna/ tipuna
The ones dressed differently are the leaders.
The 2 that are dressed differently there the 2 leaders 1 leads the females and 1 leads the males
This is the national champions of 2018. So imagine 60 other high-schools doing this. They are doing a 25min bracket. A set of items.
Waiatira - Choral song (choir setting)(optional)
Whakaeke - Entrance
Moteatea - An acapella type sad song
Waiata a ringa - Hand action song
Poi - A song performing with poi
Haka - the boys come forward for the haka
Whakaeke - Exit
The male and female leads dress differently to show they are the leader of their tribe
Aww is that alfred webster??
Its a korowai a cloak high ranking depending on what type of feathers are being used
Storm cold by Demi locator was the song
The leader of the women are always in the middle and dressed different. Also the male leader. They both stand out
Find a vid of the Haka done at the beginning of NZ All Blacks rugby games. Make the hair on your neck stand up
We’ve watched it and we agree!
The fare moari has a nice voice
WAIRUA is what ya felt..
im from new zealand your prounouncing it wrong the 1 one wasent a haka the was when the boys went to the front
When there is a girl and boy dressed differently that usually means they are the leader
So If 1 girl and 1 guy are wearing diffrent stuff to the rest there known at the kaitataki taneor kaitataki kotiro, as a easy a to put it they're kind of the 2 leaders of the group and as you saw they lead more of the stuff
The Woman and Man wearing different clothes are the leaders of the group.
The male and female are the lead members of the roopu(group)
If you liked I recommend TE MATATINI the biggest Māori Performing Arts festival "Kapa Haka" in NZ held every two years since 1980s
Stan Walker
You should react to Rotuma days celebrations (specifically PEPJEI’S)
Can y'all react to Nga Puna o waiorea Whakawatea 2014 🙏🙏
Aloha you guys should react to the waimanalo evictions in Hawaii mahalo kū'e Hawaii me ke aloha
The 2 dressed differently are the leaders
A Kapahaka Group I would Love to see yous react to is Manukura Nationals 2024
Kia Ora👋 Nga Mihi 👍 Arohanui kia kautau katoa. TINO RANGATIA TANGA MANA MOTUHAKE
The sad song is a waiata tangi to honor our deceased we celebrate still long after they are gone
Also, these are high school kids. 14-18 year olds
Wairua I’ve learnt after many years, is almost the same as Energy. Not the same because Wairua, spirit of Man, Holy Spirit, thou art welcome here, resides in man, Energy is sent out from the Spirit of the person. It’s not physical, like a smile, it’s the sense you feel.
Can you guys react to “Te pou o Mangatawhiri Tainui regionals 2024” plz.
Come to NZ or as my people say Aotearoa and meet my people and you will be welcomed and then you will meet tangata whenua o Aotearoa
