The young boy singing is holding his grandfathers photo a great leader in our tribe the lady's photo she was a amazing performer of kapahaka also amazing role model for women both are sadly missed Sean great reaction to our young people thank you
The Tattoo is called a moko kauae represents a woman's whānau, and the service and leadership she has given them and her community, in recognition of her mana, status, abilities and commitment to the collective. It also perpetuates a traditional taonga passed down over many generations from the ancestress Niwareka
@@Tokkan1 Roughly Whanau is Family. Mana is hard to explain its like spiritual power and presence, Taonga is like a treasure but not really gold and gems, more like works or art, or even people that have significance, even things like knowledge, and specializations in certain skills by a person can lead them to being Taonga. Something that cannot be traded or sold but can be given as gifts
A Kapa Haka performance usually consist with 6 songs/ hakas. 1. Entrance on to the stage 2. Traditional chant 3. Song with Pois being used 4. Song with hand actions depicting the words 5. The actual haka 6. Exit the stage There is a 7th optional item that can be performed, known as the Choral. I.e it was the first song in this video
my man your connection with our culture is spot on you felt all the emotions that come with a bracket thank you for your condolences and acknowledging everyones past loved ones awesome vid bro
The respect this man has for Kapa Haka is incredible!! Especially coming from someone over seas, he's showing more respect for Maori culture than some people living in Aoteroa. As someone who is Maori, it just makes me incredibly happy to be seeing.
i feel like since he's looking in from outside he doesn't have the same biases and judgments that Pakeha have. this also means he gets the full raw experience without having that stupid barrier of racism
@@malachaiarnold7484I was lucky to grown up and not have much interactions with Pakeha like that Until l was nearly grown up. It was really shocking how many have that deeply ingrained but some of my older relatives pakeha and polynesian and other explained to me how it was almost institutional with some people and they were even taught it in school, some are so angry and threatened to see other cultures being celebrated or even just shown like its a personal attack on them when it really isn't and they try to strip everything away from other people, be it culture, language, or historical achievements in voyaging, science or anything else, so much that they deny scientific evidence and rewrite history. Like in their world only one group can achieve anything, its really sad as humans we are all connected and I feel that the achievements and difference in other cultures is not a threat to mine.
The tattoo is identification my brother. You see you may hold a drivers licence for identification for my people our moko is our I.d kia ora and thank u for taking the time to learn our Cultra much love to you and your family Sean tyler respect 🙏 ❤ 💙
The sport games, weddings or funerals you see Haka performed at is still significant in its meaning. However, when you have competition such as this, each groups performance must include 1)TIRA (tee-rā)…2)WHAKAEKE (far-car-ear-care)…3)MOTEATEA (more-tear-tear)….4) POI (boy but with a P)…. 5)WAIATA-A-RINGA (why-are-tar…are…ring-are)….6) HAKA and….7) WHAKAWATEA (far-car-waa-tear). These items performed are only for competition. The groups spend months and months preparing, and are highly skilled and disciplined at what they are doing.
usually Kapa Haka, is about song and dance that involves telling stories. of Traveling, exploration, family, heritage, obstacles and achievements. Im generalizing so hand signals, and formations are visuals of stuff like oceans and men sometimes will row using their weapons to act out rowing the boat. Other times telling story of conflicts, pretty much everything again im generalizing like theatre or movies many subjects can be seen at the theatre.
This is the real way to experience a haka. I see foreigners complain about the haka being annoying, silly, and a waste of time because they only see the all blacks do it. They don't see the traditional way of the haka with the original peoples performing it and not middle aged white dudes lol
My kids are 8,10, 14 and they have been involved in these sorts of things at school since they were 5. Nothing quite like watching a bunch of 5-10 yr olds doing a haka, and meaning it.. it would blow your mind.
In 2008 at kavanagh college our kapa haka group made pass through the regionals and then South Island Comp and made it through to the nationals of kapa haka. It was so cool To be apart of it
Traditional Māori Facial Tattoos are called Moko Kanohi. Men usually get Moko Mataora that covers half or whole face and usually explains the man's lineage, and contribution to their community. Women usually get their Moko Kauae (Chin Tattoo), this usually signifies womanhood. Some women may get ngutu purua (lip colouring) as well. Moko Kanohi and its meaning is different to each iwi/tribe. This performance is competitive Kapa Haka (Māori Performing Arts in a group). Regional competitions are held one year and the Nationals is held the following year. There are three main National competitions: Mana Kuratahi (Primary School - for those at school aged 5-12 years old), Kapa Haka Kura Tuarua (Secondary School - for those at school aged 13-18 years old) and Te Matatini (Adult groups with some secondary school students - those aged 14 years old and older). School groups and Adult groups at these Kapa Haka competitions are mainly judged in 7 categories or aggregate items, to crown the overall winner. These aggregate items/categories are: Whakaeke (Entrance item - this item has to keep bums in seats, the first impression), Mōteatea (Traditional chant), Poi (item using percussive balls at the end of string, commonly done by women in recent times), Waiata-a-ringa (Action song item), Haka (Traditional haka item), Whakawātea (Exit item - this item should leave the audience and judges wanting more of your performance) and Te Reo Māori (Māori Language Proficiency, Excellence and Accuracy throughout the whole performance in all items/categories). Each aggregate item/category is judged out of 100. The aim of the game is for each group to perform and showcase every item/category to the best of their abilities. One mistake, one wrong turn, one mishap, one dropped prop at the wrong time could mean one or more points deducted and ultimately determining a groups chance of winning or not. There are also other non-aggregate items/categories that a group can win a trophy for, but these don't get included in the points for winners of each aggregate items/categories and overall winners. These non-aggregate items may include: Waiata Tira (choral item - mostly singing in choir formation without actions, and usually sung first before the Whakaeke. Hymns are commonly sung here if a group has religious connections), Manukura Tāne (Best Male Leader), Manukura Wahine (Best Female Leader), Kākahu (Best Dressed group) amongst many other non-aggregate awards.
The first song is a thank you to god for all things.the song is a chorale most groups hve one to warm up. For the rest of the performance . The song with photos is. A tribute girl is talia morrison who passed from cervical cancer .she is from the mighty morrison whanau (family) the man is mentioned from te arawa area gisbourne ans maybe palmerston north area .unsure who he is but vwry special all the same. This group is. Combination of rotorua boys and girls high school .they are always highly regarded and ranked in comps .hope this helps along with other comments below
We have regional competitions all over New Zealand where high schools perform, the top 4 from each region go to nations to perform. There would be up to 30 high schools chosen to perform their ‘bracket’ for nationals. The top 9 go into finals. Raukura (row-coulda) roll the ‘r’ in row….have won 2 Nats in a row…Nationals happens every second year.
Growing up around a helluva lot of my Maori brothers and sisters, it's the sisters you really need to watch out for. An extremely loving, family-forward culture, but watch out if you cross any of them.
your onto it Sean you get what they are singing about.. I rather watch kapa haka competitions they really show it full on.. Awesome reaction bro.. your shirt should be in the US now
Goose bumps from head to toe.Traditionally the Haka was a war dance to basically threaten or warn the enemy.The Maori facial tattoo was not only seen as a sign of rank though, but was also used as a kind of identification card. For men, their face tattoo showed their accomplishments, status, position, ancestry and marital status.
Thank you for this reaction and the love brutha💯🤎🙇🏾♂️ Ko wai te kura!!? RAUKURA!! Old boy of R.B.H.S class of "96" much love and gratitude bro💯🤎🙇🏾♂️ #nzmaorilove
It's an ID the Moko on the face it tells other tribes who you are where you come from and how high up you are. I appreciate this dudes energy and really feeling the Maori energy.
Kapa Haka consists of between 6 or 7 items, sometimes even and extra one and these are usually for competitions only. Fundraisers or coronation day for our Maaori King, so its a whole performance that spans out from 30 minutes to even 40. Sometimes an hour due to whaikorero (male speech). Kapa haka is for all ages and all ethnics who may take an interest and giving it a go. I recommend "Te Maurea Whiritoi" , "Te Wharekura o Rakaumangamanga" and "Te Kopu Mania 2020"
Secondary schools (high school) have competitions with kapa haka. It's fierce. You don't have to win to know you've conducted yourself with dignity. The group's mana (pride/reputation) hangs on the performance. It can by evocative, or funny, or politically pointed, but always emotional. The students will discuss these performances all year and analyse them.
Man shout out to you for taking genuine interest in our culture. Ngā mihi 🙏. Really just proves all the people wrong who say our language has no use outside of our country.
Moko kauaē, tamoko,maataatua, honestly from a mixed raced kiwi, it's not something I'm rushing to produce on myself, but heyy guys this is a gift and I obviously have never been gifted lol 🎉 but love my culture and all cultures.. and just to see how many beautiful women and men have it is the true gift. ❤
Just found your channel. Love your reactions to kapa haka! You really get into it. The secondary schools' championships display some awesome talent and it's good to see younger generations embracing their cultural heritage. From primary, intermediate and secondary schools throughout the country to regional and national festivals and competitions, it's a safe bet that kapa haka and all that goes with it has a secure future in Aotearoa/NZ and those who are dismissive of it are the losers. Sadly, post-colonial narrow mindedness (I'm being polite!) takes a long time to change and in some cases never will change. If you're a fan of kapa haka and indigenous performance arts, check out the Te Matatini festivals and also Polyfest which showcases other Polynesian cultural performances. These too, feature secondary school performers of great quality.
so this haka group is two diffrent schools in new zeal the girls are from an all girls school in rotorua and the boys are from an all boys school in rotorua aswell and the some of the backround of this waiata ( song ) is that its talking about the two teaches from each of the kuras ( school )
Woman dont cover most the face usually only under the lips aka chin area adding to what SOLIDOS TSO just said. Men will usually have more or most of the face done.
The intro song is like a thank you for letting us perform on this stage and greeting for maori culture the 2nd one after the greeting there is a entrance so yea
We are a people of Polynesian mixed ancestry who many believe to be partly derived from the ancient Israelites of biblical times. Most mainstream academics believe the Maori to have came into the pacific by way of south east Asia while many others believe the Maori/Polynesians to be a combination of both the Asian and American continents. Many Maori are very strong on keeping the foundation of our culture alive but we regard our blood line connection to be the most important component of the culture. The word Maori can best be pronounce as in the bread that is mouldy with a strong ah sound after the M and the R sound is half between an r and a d, so rolls like the r in the Latino language, eg Mah'odi, just let it flow... MAORI 😜
Raukura is the name of the group. It is a mix of an all boys high school, and all girls high school students. they are roughly between 16-18 years old.
The long stick as you called it is a Taiaha ( tie - ah - ha). It might help if you could get your hands on a English to Māori dictionary and a customs/ traditions books. Would be happy to send some if you have a P.o Box.
They are performing "Stone Cold" by Demi Lovato in our natural language, which originates from in Aotearoa (New Zealand). It is a translation of her English lyrics into Te Rēo Māori (The Māori Language). Te rēo Māori is the native tongue of the indigenous people of New Zealand. We are Polynesian travelers who arrived in Aotearoa (New Zealand) roughly 500 years ago. Our first ancestor to discover New Zealand was called Kupe, who discovered this beautiful country nearly 1000 years ago while hunting. We, the Māori people, are the rightful owners and sovereign to this land. As a result of colonization, there isn't a single FULL-BLOODED Māori left in the world. Our blood line is on the verge of extinction. Our language was nearly made obsolete after our ancestors were beaten and killed for speaking our natural language upon the arrival of the British Settlers. There are still elderly Māori people alive, today, who suffer from severed PTSD, anxiety and depression as a result of being punished at school in their younger years, for speaking our language. Their experience in school has continued to affect multiple areas of their lives as they grew older. And even to this day the many people who now call this country home after them or their ancestors migrated here post-colonization, complain about our culture and language being portrayed everywhere in the country. For the first time in the history of television in Aotearoa, they started using incorporating our language on live television, however, numerous complaints were made from skeptical racists who believe that it shouldn't be "thrown in their face". So, to hear your enthusiasm for our culture and our language, it truly brings a tear to my eye. I love watching reaction videos of all the people around the world who appreciate our people, culture and our authentic artists that bring the music of our country to the rest of the world. It also saddens me that people from other countries show more appreciation towards our culture than our very own neighbors who are of NON-Māori descent
they did it to other white people too, like the scottish and the Irish (hardcore on the Irish side) and the Welsh, etc. Everywhere they went. They destroyed culture and almost eradicated languages, and in some cases DID. Irish (Gaeilge) is on the verge of extinction. I may be one of the last of a generation, who can speak fluent Gaeilge.
Kia ora, those are moko on the chin... Females can also get moko but you must be maori heirtage to get a moko on the chin, men have a mataora which is a semi/full face moko. You are watching one of the best if not the best Kapa Haka ropu (group) in highschool in Aotearoa.
Brother love your reaction any chance your able to react to more kapa haka plse👍are you able to react to Te kapa Haka O Te Wharekura O Hoani Whititi Marae you'll love it.These are High schools by the way that yoir reacting to👍
The order of these performances go: Waiata tira - song Whakaeke- entrance Waiata āringa- song with actions Poi- what they dance with Mōteatea - long chant freestyle actions Haka- Chant with actions The order of these vary in different performances
New Zealand as a Nation is NOT complete until this bunch of People known as the Indigenous People of Aotearoa come into the scene.. Being here 17 years and still counting I have a lot of respect for these kind-hearted people.. The Haka might look fearful and violent but that's their cultural war dance some have told me, but as people, they are some of the kindest and most loving people I have ever crossed paths with.. Kia Kaha Te Whakahihi Matou te Maori 🙏💪💪
Literal translation of raukura is hundred school (schools all over the country) secondary school High schools ages 12-18yrs compete in national cultural comps
Would you be able to do a reaction of Six60s Australian Tour (Don't forget your roots) Lovely back story of this great Kiwi band bringing in First Nations People of both NZ and Australia as part of their set. Was truly amazing and lovely and would love to see what U think. you would have to google the news article as I can't add link in here. I thought I'd added a comment but it's disappeared on me so apologies if ive got 3 comments on here. I can't see the original comment anymore. Thanks UA-cam 👀

They had me tearing up hearing their beautiful waiata for the people who have passed. Didn't do kapa haka like this when I was at school, awesome!
Papa Hori Kaiwai
Is the song they're singing for the waiata "in the arms of the angel" in Maori?
@@TallicatGamesyes

You need to explain what these Maori words are. Obviously not everyone knows sheesh
@@Tokkan1 Roughly Whanau is Family. Mana is hard to explain its like spiritual power and presence, Taonga is like a treasure but not really gold and gems, more like works or art, or even people that have significance, even things like knowledge, and specializations in certain skills by a person can lead them to being Taonga.

usually Kapa Haka, is about song and dance that involves telling stories. of Traveling, exploration, family, heritage, obstacles and achievements.

Amazing High School Kids ❤

There would be up to 30 high schools chosen to perform their ‘bracket’ for nationals. The top 9 go into finals.

Growing up around a helluva lot of my Maori brothers and sisters, it's the sisters you really need to watch out for. An extremely loving, family-forward culture, but watch out if you cross any of them.
I remember watching this one in person and word could not describe how good this was
naww you can just tell hes blown away from the very start and i think its really cool that other people are getting into our culture thanks bro
Love your respect and interest, thank you! Our culture is very humbling and special.
your onto it Sean you get what they are singing about.. I rather watch kapa haka competitions they really show it full on.. Awesome reaction bro.. your shirt should be in the US now
Very proud of my people and our talents
Goose bumps from head to toe.Traditionally the Haka was a war dance to basically threaten or warn the enemy.The Maori facial tattoo was not only seen as a sign of rank though, but was also used as a kind of identification card. For men, their face tattoo showed their accomplishments, status, position, ancestry and marital status.
There are plenty of Kapa Haka Competitions for all ages every year. Regional, National and smaller comps for different demographics.
When We connect truly through our mana to our ancestors even me an outcast of sorts can feel my spirit answer. All maoris have this i believe
'From 0-100 just like that' .. pretty much sums us up lol .. mean reaction my bro keep up the good work
Chur bro for the reaction on our Maori culture! NZ Life! Bless!
RIP Talei Morrison x and shout out to you Sean for feeling the spirit of our culture

The hand movements r called the wiris helps with the nerves but shows consistency within the bracket by all male and females xx
You on point with your observation bro. 👌
Its love broski, loved stumbling across your page.
See what happens when a country respects and endorses its cultural heritage! Great things are possible.
It's an ID the Moko on the face it tells other tribes who you are where you come from and how high up you are. I appreciate this dudes energy and really feeling the Maori energy.

Enjoyed watching these!
I'm Maori and these kids are very good 👍 the train for months....you should see the adults 😉
These are what you need to watch brother, matarae o rehu have some good performances to watch
In south Africa i would say is similar to Traditional Zulu dance
Cause we are brothers in tradition
Moko kauaē, tamoko,maataatua, honestly from a mixed raced kiwi, it's not something I'm rushing to produce on myself, but heyy guys this is a gift and I obviously have never been gifted lol 🎉 but love my culture and all cultures.. and just to see how many beautiful women and men have it is the true gift. ❤
These are what real Māori performances look like
Feel the soul of New Zealand Maori Culture!!
they left out the rest off it
Just found your channel. Love your reactions to kapa haka! You really get into it.
The secondary schools' championships display some awesome talent and it's good to see younger generations embracing their cultural heritage.
From primary, intermediate and secondary schools throughout the country to regional and national festivals and competitions, it's a safe bet that kapa haka and all that goes with it has a secure future in Aotearoa/NZ and those who are dismissive of it are the losers. Sadly, post-colonial narrow mindedness (I'm being polite!) takes a long time to change and in some cases never will change.
If you're a fan of kapa haka and indigenous performance arts, check out the Te Matatini festivals and also Polyfest which showcases other Polynesian cultural performances. These too, feature secondary school performers of great quality.
so this haka group is two diffrent schools in new zeal the girls are from an all girls school in rotorua and the boys are from an all boys school in rotorua aswell and the some of the backround of this waiata ( song ) is that its talking about the two teaches from each of the kuras ( school )
We use a lot of energy throughout the event , you get tired after the intro 😂😂🤦
Dats moari let get it
Fire bro, kai te pai.
Different Tribal hakas. this group represent Rotorua
Do you know who reps Kaitaia?
Woman dont cover most the face usually only under the lips aka chin area adding to what SOLIDOS TSO just said. Men will usually have more or most of the face done.
A welcoming in maori culture is called a pohiri
The intro song is like a thank you for letting us perform on this stage and greeting for maori culture the 2nd one after the greeting there is a entrance so yea

My old school is called raukura all boys but it's also the kapa haka name as well so yeah
Raukura is the name of the group. It is a mix of an all boys high school, and all girls high school students. they are roughly between 16-18 years old.
This is a high school as well. 13-17 year olds
The long stick as you called it is a Taiaha ( tie - ah - ha). It might help if you could get your hands on a English to Māori dictionary and a customs/ traditions books. Would be happy to send some if you have a P.o Box.
There's multiple sections of a whole bracket. They started with choral. 2nd item was a whakaeke.
this performance is honestly creme of the crop. elite sh!t.
This is rotorua boys high school and rotorua girls high school it's in my hometown rotorua
💯👌🏽
They are performing "Stone Cold" by Demi Lovato in our natural language, which originates from in Aotearoa (New Zealand). It is a translation of her English lyrics into Te Rēo Māori (The Māori Language).
Te rēo Māori is the native tongue of the indigenous people of New Zealand. We are Polynesian travelers who arrived in Aotearoa (New Zealand) roughly 500 years ago.
Our first ancestor to discover New Zealand was called Kupe, who discovered this beautiful country nearly 1000 years ago while hunting.
We, the Māori people, are the rightful owners and sovereign to this land.
As a result of colonization, there isn't a single FULL-BLOODED Māori left in the world. Our blood line is on the verge of extinction. Our language was nearly made obsolete after our ancestors were beaten and killed for speaking our natural language upon the arrival of the British Settlers.
There are still elderly Māori people alive, today, who suffer from severed PTSD, anxiety and depression as a result of being punished at school in their younger years, for speaking our language. Their experience in school has continued to affect multiple areas of their lives as they grew older.
And even to this day the many people who now call this country home after them or their ancestors migrated here post-colonization, complain about our culture and language being portrayed everywhere in the country.
For the first time in the history of television in Aotearoa, they started using incorporating our language on live television, however, numerous complaints were made from skeptical racists who believe that it shouldn't be "thrown in their face".
So, to hear your enthusiasm for our culture and our language, it truly brings a tear to my eye. I love watching reaction videos of all the people around the world who appreciate our people, culture and our authentic artists that bring the music of our country to the rest of the world. It also saddens me that people from other countries show more appreciation towards our culture than our very own neighbors who are of NON-Māori descent
they did it to other white people too, like the scottish and the Irish (hardcore on the Irish side) and the Welsh, etc. Everywhere they went. They destroyed culture and almost eradicated languages, and in some cases DID. Irish (Gaeilge) is on the verge of extinction. I may be one of the last of a generation, who can speak fluent Gaeilge.
There are very few "Full blood Māori" my husband & his siblings have no European or other ancestry.. they certainly are few e tama!
The Māori people were not the first inhabitants of New Zealand. Check out the Red haired Green eyed people of the South Island.
Rau...Row Kura...Koo...ra...Roll the "r..

New Zealand as a Nation is NOT complete until this bunch of People known as the Indigenous People of Aotearoa come into the scene.. Being here 17 years and still counting I have a lot of respect for these kind-hearted people.. The Haka might look fearful and violent but that's their cultural war dance some have told me, but as people, they are some of the kindest and most loving people I have ever crossed paths with.. Kia Kaha Te Whakahihi Matou te Maori 🙏💪💪
Literal translation of raukura is hundred school (schools all over the country) secondary school High schools ages 12-18yrs compete in national cultural comps
