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.❤️

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Thanks for sharing with us!

[@Ngatikahu-aka-panbadass]

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 .

[@jesaminetehuia9098]

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.

[@WitlessGaming]

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. ☺

[@youtubemusic5210]

You felt the Wairua (spirit)☺

[@user-kw6fv2os6x]

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 ❤️❤️❤️

[@vk88864]

From one indigenous mob to another I love the Haka 🫶🏽 this gave me goosebumps.

[@lissyk2789]

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...

[@cwc1646]

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.

[@zealantis]

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

[@kiwinewz2042]

Nice you mentioned the Koikoi.

[@sharondick7847]

So the picture that they hold is the are some Maori people that have passed away the used to be in the kapa haka group and they support them and acknowledge tha lost of the and I am from new Zealand and I use to be in a kapa haka group ❤❤

[@TommyLeeOscar]

Kia ora awesome reaction great to see others appreciate our culture. Māori love sharing who we are with the World!

[@Ruebz_f30]

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.

[@pairomcleod2271]

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.

[@robbie1266]

Maori Wahine (Women), where they have beautiful voices one minute, but are just as ferocious and fearless as the men the very next minute. 🔥

[@michelletewhata7768]

The songs we sing is about our history, during the war , our ancestors went through

[@Paperchaser101]

Chea too much for showing our culture on a big platform like yours ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

[@Milz838]

[@user-uu5qj3ce6n]

The melody is in the arms of an Angel

[@traceynielsen268]

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 ❤

[@bianca031295]

I LOVED your reactions, thank you both for watching all the way through. Your questions were so genuine and interesting to hear, loved it.

[@caitlinstockman1747]

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 ❤

[@MaoriNative_NZ]

Awwww😢😢😢 beautiful reaction my people. Lovely watching people enjoy our culture. Luv yous❤❤kiaora

[@essveekaye]

Tino!! Great performance. However, YOU TWO😅😂, YOUR FACES!!! 😍🎉. Kiaora you pair. You done well haha.

[@M.B.ChalliesNZ]

Kia Ora! All school children perform in Kapa Haka competition and love it 🌿♥️🇳🇿

[@whionaepiha-newport8551]

He is our tresure from Aotearoa / nz ❤

[@parkiwi4787]

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.

[@waiskuxx]

Can y’all please react to Te Maurea Whiritoi 2023? It’s one of the best Kapa Haka performances

[@tmaino4524]

Te Wharekura O Hoani Waititi this group is also good at haka abit more hardcore

[@cherrybertanees3086]

The ones dressed differently are the leaders.

[@OutbackLife656]

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.

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Thanks for sharing with us!

[@Lonx418]

craziest thing about this performance is the amount of running and jumping and guttural screaming but still able to hold beautiful notes

[@kimbrown2313]

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.

[@haamitangiwai7554]

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

[@lowsonpearse]

Man, this reminds me of home ❤

[@mandymanukau]

They’re adults now 🥰🥰🥰 some live in Aus nowadays 😢❤

[@Bigotsstaymad]

Watch an all boys school in Nz celebrating someone it’s impressive teenage boys

[@wertyuiosadfghjk5464]

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

[@avatarmanawatu9286]

The man with the coat Is called kaitataki tane

[@B.Y.Kalowa]

The first one is a Demi Levato melody “I'm happy for you” .Wonder who originally developed it?

[@belindanoble2495]

It's a New Zealand High School competition. They are called Kapa Haka Groups

[@andersgulowsen2814]

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 :)

[@tirisabetham4114]

[@user-zx7wz2hi5y]

You should see Merrie Monarch 2006-Academy of Hawaiian Arts - Wahine Kahiko

[@monkeyd6716]

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

[@kinasandwich7624]

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.

[@eazy_mahi2am973]

The 2 that are dressed differently there the 2 leaders 1 leads the females and 1 leads the males

[@user-mi3ns2fn4k]

[@Lawen03]

Another great kapa haka to watch is Te whanau O te maro hauke. They’re intermediate schools ( around 10-12 years old).

[@sharondick7847]

They are saying that we will be together forever and and saying bye to those who have passed on the history of iur country and the war

[@kerrydoutch5104]

Find a vid of the Haka done at the beginning of NZ All Blacks rugby games. Make the hair on your neck stand up

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

We’ve watched it and we agree!

[@michelletewhata7768]

The leader of the women are always in the middle and dressed different. Also the male leader. They both stand out

[@pare1789]

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

[@dalluce6482]

“we should not be in our 30s just now learning their culture.” poly’s to the world💯

[@thatsme5773]

Those dressed different are the leaders. Female/wahine and male/tāne

[@larocomel]

[@danielbaker3822]

Kaia is the leader man and woman mana !!!

[@calliethorburn8194]

Kapa Hapa tells a story, a story of (Whanau) family, (Te Maunga) their mountain (Moana) their ocean and (Motu) their forest. There are events every year where Tribes (Iwi) come together to celebrate the history and go head to head in a competition, just like they would have done when meeting each other in Tribal regions. Maori language is called Te Reo. Kapa Haka shows a tribes strength and unity. As a Kiwi, it still gives me the shivers.
