I was mesmerized watching the men's haka. I am so happy that the women's haka is more feminine.
I love doing this haka,especially doing the female actions ,it is so easy to do and learnt alol all the time
Can anyone break down/translate the words or pronunciations?
Hello from France
Do you have thé lyrics and the traduction of this beautiful Haka ?
Nice, thanks for the tutorial =)
I was curious about this too as the woman never refers to the hand trembling as part of the dance moves.
This particular movement, trembling of the hands, is called "wiri". It originates from the heat waves as can be seen on a hot day rising from the ground. The personification of this natural phenomenon is known as Tāne Rore who in Māori origin was the husband of Hine Rēhia - The Maiden of Pleasurable Pursuits. Together they are the progenitors of Māori performance arts.
Suggestion...COULD YOU WRITE DOWN THE WORDS AND ACTUALLY TRANSLATE WHAT IT IS WE ARE SAYING ALSO COULD YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THE HAND MOVEMENTS MEAN? I DONT WANT TO JUST COPYCAT AND BE A POSER..I HAVE GREATEST reverence respect admiration and love for the Maori people and this is an important sacred tradition and i would never do this dance haka just for kicks..it signifies and represents the fierce fight to remain steady unchanged and alive forever no matter what happens endurance and pride hope and love a great love for the land the people ancestors culture and fellow man who doesnt have ill intent but mutual love and will join the fight to protect that which is so sacred..the right to be who you are meant to be...no oppression or malice.
Thanks 😊☺️
me and my class is doing this haka and the boys are doing the male one
@mocastro15 As far as I understand, it IS a part of the dance, since every haka performer does that. I think it kinda shows that you are so full of (possibly destructive) energy and once you cannot contain it.
the hand shaking is part of the dancing.
Hi Josephina, is it always just one hand?
Both hands
What are the words to this?
If I do this everyday I may not get COVID19. Y
Right!!!! 💝 This Haka is stronger than any bad, destructive thing. God bless you! 👼
Please can you post the lyrics x
I believe this is a modified version of the Tēnei te ruru haka created for the city of christchurch after the earthquake...
words:
Otautahi
Maraka! Maraka!
Otautahi
Maraka! Maraka!
Tēnei te rūrū
Te koukou nei
Kīhai māhitihiti
Kīhai marakaraka
Te ūpoko nui o te rūrū
Terekou
He pō, he pō, he ao, ka awatea!
Translation:
Otautahi (Christchurch)
Rise up! Rise up!
Otautahi (Christchurch)
Rise up! Rise up!
This is the morepork ( NZ owl)
Who calls,
Whose head does not toss
From side to side, nor up or down
The head of the morepork is steadfast on its shoulders
As it calls us
From the darkness
From the darkness
And into the world of light
To a dawn of new understanding
The haka is a call for people to rise up,
to stand firm and strong.
Performed with either men or women at the
front, this haka is simple and effective. It is
quickly becoming an anthem throughout all
schools in the South Island.
The haka is primarily a posture dance.
The way the performer holds him/herself
during haka is important. Performers need
to be able to exude a sense of strength and
invincibility. They need to balance this
with their ability to be nimble and light of
foot when required. The best haka people
are able to flick backwards and forwards
between these states in the flash of an eye.
I hope that helps!😊
Thank you this helped me learning this for my dance routine
Then theres the men hitting there chests violently
Umm why is your hand shaking? Is it apart of the dance?
Bula from Fiji. I coach youth basketball and our girls team have decided on Tamahine as their team name. With a Maori name, I'd like to ask if it would be appropriate for them to learn this haka. The team name is a result of them being ABs fans. Age group is 15years and under. There are around 25 of them and growing. Thx.
KiaOra Jone! Definitely, we'd love to see the haka being performed...
Thanks @@graemedobson6730. My daughter's pretty stoked they'll have a haka. Will upload their first presentation of the haka and will post the link here. Thanks again. TC.
genan
yes
Guys and girls do the actions different to girls and guys do it the same
That's what I'm saying. So why give them more "graceful" and "feminine" moves unlike the men if they were participating in the same war as the men? Know what I mean?
men's haka looks straight comical and I'm actually a bit offended that Maori culture has women participate in what was originally a war dance, but relegates special, subjugated--er, I mean "subdued"--moves. I want to see women go hard like the men do.
Haka was never originally a "war dance". That's a common misconception. Haka is an original generic term for "dance" in Māori language
In most kapa haka performances (a Maori cultural performance, where there is singing, dancing, and haka) women do "go hard" just not in the haka section for some reason. During haka, women aren't allowed to take up a wide stance. However, other parts of kapa haka are similar to haka, and women do chant and dance more powerfully.
Depending on which iwi(tribe) you come from, women do go hard and can perform haka like our male counterparts. Wahine(women) also took part in the tribal wars pre-colonization and still do now in modern times. Its about balance and we all have our parts to play.
