Te Whanau Apanui me Te Waka Huia are my favorite Maori Kapahaka group in Aotearoa so flawless at least I got to see my 2 favourite kapahaka roopu live at the Rotorua Matatini before I left Aotearoa in 2013. At home in Ngoy we were joined by other whanau to watch the prize giving I did say to my whanau that Te Waka Huia and Te Whanau Apanui will win and that most of the Rotorua kapahaka roopu are no longer champions.

Yeah that year it was Waka Huia 1st and Apanui 2nd probably my two favourite Haka groups

[@simondivinagracia7045]

their whakaeke has the same tune to "E Ku'u Morning Dew" of Hawai'i
