Responding to (12:30) I'm that "Caucasian" Māori you keep mentioning that gets all the camera time. I'm no one special bro, just a proud māori. Yess we come in different tones including white. im simply mixed. Polynesian (Māori/samoan) and Eroupean (English/Spanish) it's common in NZ to be apart of such a diverse lineage. No matter how we end up tho always proud to be Māori🙏
Not sure if you'll read all of this but I hope some of your followers do. I've been following you for a while and appreciate your reactions to our culture. Māori are all colours of the human rainbow. Fairest of fair to very dark skinned. Like many have also said its what is in your veins that make you Māori. Whakapapa Māori. So kapa haka translated in it's literal form means "a group performing haka" derived from haka of traditional times which mainly included mōteatea or chanting types (the 3rd item performed) and haka types (the 6th item performed) commonly known to non-Māori as the aggressive like war dance. Once guitars and other instruments arrived in Aotearoa NZ more modern sounding songs started to be performed accompanied by other props like traditional weapons and poi - balls on string etc. In competitive kapa haka competitions (Adult, Secondary School or Kura Tuarua - 13 to 18 year olds, and Primary or Kura Tuatahi - 5 to 12 year olds) there are 7 main items that each team has to perform and compete in to gain the highest points overall. The team with the most points wins the competition. The groups also have to perform these items in a 25 minute time frame or points are deducted if the team goes overtime. The 7 main items judged in the aggregate section which determines the winners are the following: - Whakaeke (Best Entrance item) - Mōteatea (Best Traditional Chant item) - Waiata-a-ringa (Best Action Song item) - Poi (Best Poi - ball on string item) - Haka (Best Haka item) - Whakawātea (Best Exit item) - Mita o Te Reo (Reo Māori Language Excellence including clarity in pronunciation of the words of every item). There are also non-aggregate items that get judged but are not included in the overall winner scores, but they definitely add to the value of the overall performance on stage. These may include: - Waiata Tira (Choral Singing item) - Kaitātaki Tāne (Best Male Leader) - Kaitātaki Wahine (Best Female Leader) - Kākahu (Best Dressed Group) - Best Composition Being in unison in all ways and performing with flair and gusto is very important in kapa haka. You're judged as a unit as much as you are judged as an individual. You must leave an almost everlasting impression on the judges and spectators. Kapa Haka is a whole lot of different performing arts mushed together like Haka, Dance, Music and Drama. Competitive Haka groups showcase their own groups unique style at these competitions. In recent times being able to sing really well as a group with harmonies (similar to groups like Destiny's Child) definitely helps advance the group to the finals. Haka intensity is just as important too. Haka is sometimes defined as controlled madness. Being able to maturely switch from different emotions, from item to item, to tell the different stories they want/to in every item is very important as well. I recommend watching Te Kapa Haka o Te Whānau a Apanui 2023 full performance, they are the Current World Champions of Kapa Haka from Te Matatini. They have a different style to others, a more simple but effective style with very beautiful clear easy listening type singing. However there are many many different groups to check out over the years as there are many different winners and many top groups. Whangara Mai Tawhiti, Matarae-I-Orehu, Waihirere, Waka Huia, Manutaki, Nga Tumanako and many others. Yes the first song is from the American movie "Harriet" about Harriet Tubman. So the negro spiritual vibe you're feeling and talking about is correct. The women are wearing cloaks. Every group especially school groups have tutors who normally perform competitively in the adult competition - Te Matatini. Definitely check out the Te Matatini website to learn more about kapa haka and Te Matatini in general. We definitely have the same vowel sounds in our language Te Reo Māori as Korean, Japanese, Chinese and even Spanish etc. A lot of kapa haka songs in modern days are in some cases like covers of popular songs on radio, in movies and tv shows etc. Like 80s music or Elvis movies, even Disney and Game of Thrones. Kapa Haka is considered a Sport due to the constant training, the physical side of things, body awareness and coordination and all that. From experience it is definitely a workout. Stamina and endurance is important. The women and men who perform Poi really well are highly skilled, it's not as easy as one thinks. Messing up in tbe poi item means points get taken off. A lot of practice for sure. You're definitely meant to enjoy the whole performance from top to bottom because of the different vibes of every item put altogether to present to judges and spectators. So cool you're feeling these young ones, Te Maurea Whiritoi.
My nephew Marcus @4.37 lol He's always been a performer :) The one with the long pounamu. This is Hamilton Boys High School and Hamilton Girls High School combined.
My mokopuna (grandchildren) absolutely love Kapa Haka and watching them perform warms my heart so much. The fact that 3 of my mokopuna are as lily white as their Dad makes them just as Māori as my older moko's that are darker skinned.
Hey my actual niece and nephew are in this clip! Their group has been over in Hawaii recently as well! There’s a lot of white presenting Maori…I mean I’m one…also the first song was written for a movie about Harriet Tubman which is probably why you identify with it so much.
hi im a NewZealand maori of mixed race and in our culture it doesnt matter what colour your skin is we are proud of all our brothers and sisters in our culture and it doesnt matter where you are from our people will always welcome you like a brother or sister and it helps us to learn about other cultures so it is a win win situation this group is outstanding to watch even for me goosebumbs cudos to them
Funny how you said it almost sounds Korean, the Korean’s sing Pokarekare Ana very well from what I’ve heard. Taught to them back in the Korean War days.
OMG this only came up on my page today!!!! utube sux 4 dat. I started doing poi (white balls) at primary school all the way to my last years at high school and only in the last couple of years did i feel i really mastered it. Its not an easy skill to do, but when done right it looks easy as. Also im white af and was Kaitātaki Wahine (lead female) my last 2 years of kapa haka and is a postion thats earned. Also helps that u can sing and project that voice. Awesome reaction bro. cant wait to see you here in NZ
More meaning than the original? The original was already very meaningful as it was apart of the Harriet soundtrack. No offense but why didn’t they come with a new song instead taking one that speaks to African Americans
@@kaylee.4858 Interpolations are rather common in Kapa Haka. The same group has a performance that uses the melody of the Ultra Instant theme from Dragonball Super. I guess from an outside perspective it can be rather confusing. Our ABC song is sung to the rhythm of Stupid Cupid 🤣🤣
They’re all Māori Throughout history we’ve always had an extremely diverse variety of skin shades. From being so pale even cloudy weather be burning ya bum cheeks - to being so hard mf be thinking you’re a shadow at night. But during (and even till this day) colonisation, colonisers heavy performed eugenics on many Māori. Many women and children were also victims of sexual violence at the hands of colonisers, and many of our men and takatāpui (Māori word for Two-spirit) were also hunted down and killed as to make it difficult to not only pass down knowledge, but also to make it difficult for Māori to continue on genealogy. So as we come into todays word Fairer skin is pretty normal to see. We have this saying and just about all Oceanic/Pacific communities use this saying “No matter how much milk you pour into your coffee, it’s still coffee” It’s a saying meant to empower us and reminds us that our skin colour does not define us within our culture. We are culture, culture is us. My skin just happened to be a lil undercooked when I came outta da oven 😂😂😂😂😂😂
We Māori have diverse ethnic backgrounds and I dont think we have a full blooded Maori among us today (please correct me if im wrong whanau) Some of us have mixed European ancestry, which is why you may notice fair skin and eyes. This is due to either colonization or the migration of our European ancestors. To add...many of us have mixed Pasifika heritage, including Samoan, Tongan, Kuki Airani, Niuean, Tokelauan, and more. Where you might notice, beautiful brown whatu/eyes and deeper skin tone. Our Pasifika ancestors came to Aotearoa, either during work draughts or later on. Our connections aren't limited to just these ethnicities. Aotearoa is a big melting pot of ethnicities and through our tangata Maori of today, has ties to every continent in the world. Due to earlier historical events like colonization, migration, and work draughts, European and Pasifika mixtures are the most prominent in our community. Depending on the specifications and compositions of a bracket, generally Kapa Haka can be for anyone. Although...for anyone who is respectful off it and embodies all that it encompasses, anyone willing to understand it's importance and wairua/spirit.
You forgot to mention back in the old days early 1800s they sailed all over the world on europen ships as whalers and crew many starting lives in far corners of the world. So there are people out in the world who may not even know there maori heritage..
Ay twano the rugby world cup semi finals are on this weekend. Would be cool if you reacted to the full games. I haven't been watching it but imma tune in now. This is where rugby is most intense. You gotta support the ABs man it's goanna be a tough one.
Yo hes a Maori bro, he has the features.. we come in all colors, shapes and sizes bro.. Some could be really dark and some could be really fair skinned.. some even yellow lol but its your bloodline that makes you a Maori .. If it runs through your veins then that is what you are. you know what I mean
The whole performance is called a bracket and a bracket is composed of items: whakaeke, waiata tira, whaikorero, moteatea, waiata aringa, haka, poi, whakawatea. And then their supporters in the audience will do them a haka tautoko. (Edit- kapa haka is actually the group as kapa i think means club, but we just call all of it kapa haka the songs and all)
We don’t do the whole too light or dark thing here with Maori. I’m from the east coast and we tend to be lighter and have green eyes and then just different mixes of people have given us different shades. We also dont stop people from joining our “kapa haka” groups as long as they respect our cultural practices. Once people mock it, that’s when we draw the line.
Kia ora Twano, we have Māori of all colors since colonisation early 1800's when Pākehā (Euro descent) people whalers and early colonisers from Europe married into Māori tribes all over Aotearoa NZ. Hence the reason for the dark ass black brown Māori like myself and the Pākehā looking ones with red hair and bue and green eyes, or the waka blonds . A lot different to the all black rugby haka aye?These rangatahi eat and breath kapa haka and their Māori culture. It's about controlling your emotions after "te mura o te ahi" (the heat of battle) grass hopper, Twano, when they look abit schizo, haha. Chur awesome keep up the comments bro!
Real Māori come up with the haka, whakaeke, ngeri, moteatea, waiata a ringa , waiata tira, and everything else and it is all set up by Māori because one of our traditions was performing for people on special occasions but now all tribes get to perform for each other in a Māori competition for best kapahaka of the ceremony.
and we would speak in between haka and maurakau ahai to welcome them, acknowledge those that have passed on, and to let known who is performing and why. All the songs have specific story’s and history. actions and ahai (weaponry movements) have their own meanings as well as each word chosen to speak as a unified people.
If you see a fair/white person performing it doesn’t mean there not Maori. Racial mix like any other culture has the varying fair to dark colouration. A lot of pakeha-white-New Zealanders-European/mixed race people perform in kapa Haka along with Maori people as well. They are either married into a Maori family, whangai-fostered into a Maori family or just happen to be fair, elderly in fun-sarcasm call them throw backs sometimes. The generation these days have those with blonde or red hair as well as green & blue eyes compared to there parents or parents parents to there tupuna-ancestors. Features have become finer moving forward but the language with this generation has become more prominent then those of many before them.
Tip is to read it with brown man's vouls n not white vouls so like ah eh ee ohh ooo and in Maori the wh sounds like ffff and r sounds like d bruv like Whangarei is pronounced like Faaa ngaaa day
I just want to thank my ancestors for giving us the beautiful art form. I'm very proud to be māori and for the world to see who my people are. ❤❤ p.s the white thing (poi) is very hard to learn. Trust me I still can't swing a poi and I'm almost 50😅
I think he's talking about the transition from haka to waiata and the contrasting emotions. Like two different personalities in a person. Perhaps he didn't word it quite right, but his meaning is evident.
Responding to (12:30) I'm that "Caucasian" Māori you keep mentioning that gets all the camera time. I'm no one special bro, just a proud māori. Yess we come in different tones including white. im simply mixed. Polynesian (Māori/samoan) and Eroupean (English/Spanish) it's common in NZ to be apart of such a diverse lineage. No matter how we end up tho always proud to be Māori🙏
Me and my wife were saying even though your white you have the most maori looking features especially with that nose
You were awesome 👌
Brother, you were killing it out there!!!
You done your people and your tupuna proud bro...going hundy all the way!!!
You’re a bomb performer bro hard!!!
ow chur owwwww neat alright hrty!
Really enjoyed your reaction to our performance! Thanks for sharing the love ❤

You're definitely meant to enjoy the whole performance from top to bottom because of the different vibes of every item put altogether to present to judges and spectators. So cool you're feeling these young ones, Te Maurea Whiritoi.
My nephew Marcus @4.37 lol He's always been a performer :) The one with the long pounamu.
This is Hamilton Boys High School and Hamilton Girls High School combined.
Im maori and this my fav group - watch 2016,2023 as well
I love Te Mauria Whiritoi so much that I'm hopping to get into my school's kapa haka team so I can further develop my haka and Te Reo
My mokopuna (grandchildren) absolutely love Kapa Haka and watching them perform warms my heart so much. The fact that 3 of my mokopuna are as lily white as their Dad makes them just as Māori as my older moko's that are darker skinned.
Your reactions to every moment of this video are both funny and enjoyable. I really like your reaction.

That’s why I love kapa haka bro. Brings so many different emotions could be sad could be upbeat exciting.. you never know

11:06 “they hit the dink dink dink” 🤣

Heaps of respect for you brother, this better go viral 🙌🏽❤️
In the first song, they sing ' Stand up' by Cynthia Erivo... in Maori. but this gives more meaning than the original sung in English.
More meaning than the original? The original was already very meaningful as it was apart of the Harriet soundtrack. No offense but why didn’t they come with a new song instead taking one that speaks to African Americans

Their first song, I would say or I would think is a rendition of Cynthia Erivo's Featured song: "Stand Up" from the Film "Harriet."
The guy you say is getting a lot of airtime, it's coz he's BRINGING IT!!!
He's doin it a hunnid!!!💯
Once we were warriors brother!!! Love from Aotearoa!!
I went and grabbed a coat ❤ cheers Twano 😂😮
Love how you picked up on the 2nd to last item. Its kinda of a fifties sound they were probably going for.
The first song is from the Harriet movie
Beautiful beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
the tune at the start is “Stand Up” by Cynthia Erivo😆🤍
Feel it in your soul❤❤❤❤
The whole performance is called a bracket and a bracket is composed of items: whakaeke, waiata tira, whaikorero, moteatea, waiata aringa, haka, poi, whakawatea. And then their supporters in the audience will do them a haka tautoko.

This is there culture and live ❤
Had me with the do the haka then get bodied statement 🤣 - it happens my bro
Look, these are beautiful and proud people and please don't compare them to a pop group 🤫 That's just an insult 🫢
His name is wairua he’s cookisland Māori the one who you were talking about getting the camera a lot

I laughed so hard when he didn’t recognise it was stand up
We have white Māori too
Yeahh wats gud twano!!!!!
Bro. NGA puna o Waiorea from nationals 2022 or polyfest2023
We don’t do the whole too light or dark thing here with Maori. I’m from the east coast and we tend to be lighter and have green eyes and then just different mixes of people have given us different shades.

I feel like the 2 soloists were chosen from around 12:30 because they were the one who has kids early
Please react to the 2023 performance. It’s their best year. Te Maurea Whiritoi 2023.
Surely do waiorea ahurea 2023
They were tuff in polyfest
YURRR
Awesome
You should watch te wharekura o te kaokaoroa o pātetere
Com to NZ You will love 💕 it , you ,mite even get married ❤❤
Ka pai. Mad performance.
The Maori Soldiers use to do the Haka when they went to war 1st and 2nd world Wars
Some maori people can be white. But that doesn't matter to us.
bro. . . waiata means song or chant and ringa is hand, maori have action songs, an action song using the hand. . waiata a ringa . . hohenga is action
Kia ora Twano, we have Māori of all colors since colonisation early 1800's when Pākehā (Euro descent) people whalers and early colonisers from Europe married into Māori tribes all over Aotearoa NZ. Hence the reason for the dark ass black brown Māori like myself and the Pākehā looking ones with red hair and bue and green eyes, or the waka blonds . A lot different to the all black rugby haka aye?These rangatahi eat and breath kapa haka and their Māori culture. It's about controlling your emotions after "te mura o te ahi" (the heat of battle) grass hopper, Twano, when they look abit schizo, haha. Chur awesome keep up the comments bro!

Not the damn nay nay 😂
Go to Turanghwaiwai that’s our King❤❤❤
If you see a fair/white person performing it doesn’t mean there not Maori. Racial mix like any other culture has the varying fair to dark colouration. A lot of pakeha-white-New Zealanders-European/mixed race people perform in kapa Haka along with Maori people as well. They are either married into a Maori family, whangai-fostered into a Maori family or just happen to be fair, elderly in fun-sarcasm call them throw backs sometimes. The generation these days have those with blonde or red hair as well as green & blue eyes compared to there parents or parents parents to there tupuna-ancestors. Features have become finer moving forward but the language with this generation has become more prominent then those of many before them.
Those balls are called poi bro and its really hard to do
you should watch ngā puna o waiorea ahurea tino ranga tira tanga thats the name
You funny man
Tip is to read it with brown man's vouls n not white vouls so like ah eh ee ohh ooo and in Maori the wh sounds like ffff and r sounds like d bruv like Whangarei is pronounced like Faaa ngaaa day
Can you react to Nga Puna O Waiorea Te Ahurea Tino Rangatira 2023
You should learn about the Māori battalion… my culture is awesome
The fact that they are talking about like land and betrayal type a shi in the Haka
Do Te Koutu regionals 2023 please
In professional kapahaka, if the mens chests and thighs are not red and bleeding, at the end. Then, you didn't do it right.🤷🙂
Ahurea Haka Nga Tapuwae. Roman british. Plz Mean as Haka. Secondary students aswell.
bro no hate g just helping, te maurea is pronounced "te mow re (roll the r) ah"
"whakaeke" "fuckah eh ke"
we are generations b4 the plastic music MAORI CULTURE will never DISINTERGRATE ;)
Nga mihi, its js in maori veins lol
Wh is pronounced f
I just want to thank my ancestors for giving us the beautiful art form. I'm very proud to be māori and for the world to see who my people are. ❤❤ p.s the white thing (poi) is very hard to learn. Trust me I still can't swing a poi and I'm almost 50😅
Bipolar lol forward slash disciplined 😂
Some Māori look white
look at his nose ;)
Oooof, saying kapa haka are the definition of bipolar makes me make this face 😡 and 😢.
I think he's talking about the transition from haka to waiata and the contrasting emotions. Like two different personalities in a person. Perhaps he didn't word it quite right, but his meaning is evident.
white pepole can be maori
react to te mana o kupe trash as video quality tho
