We love watching the world react to our videos! The shaking of the palms is called a "wiri". It represents different things for different tribal groups - for us it represents the life-force of haka and our deity, Tānerore, the god of haka. You can see him in the shimmer of light on a hot summers day. Thank you for sharing the love! ❤
Thank you for sharing your culture with us!❤
Man I did not think I would see someone explaining our culture to them.
Also when us Maori are introducing ourselves we do something called a "Pepeha" for example:
Ko "your mountain" te maunga
Ko "your river/waters" te awa
Ko "your boat" te Waka
Ko "your marae" te marae
Ko "your tribe" te iwi
Ko "your dad's name" Toku papa
Ko "your moms name" Toku mama
Ko "your name" Toku ingoa
I forgot the order pepeha's.
The heat waves you see in the distance on a hot day is what we believe to be Tānerore and the wiri mimics his life force 🤝
Soooooo gooood❤️❤️❤️
Kapa haka is basically like traditional performing arts or a musical telling Maori stories, issues past & present, passion, drama, acknowledging our ancestors and land, many things! It’s basically set into brackets like an entrance, a chant, a song, poi (the white swinging things you see the women doing), an action song, a haka and an exit. It takes a lot of energy-physical, mental and spiritual to be apart of kapa haka! Hope this somewhat helps to those that might need a bit of a quick understanding of it!
thank you for reacting to my school! we were so nervous and i’m so happy you enjoyed our performance 🎉❤❤
Our pleasure! You all were amazing!
@Savvy218 my goodness, you all were amazing!
In every māori child's life we all have performed on stage be it with our own whānau (family) friends group Kapa haka groups with other Māori that love kapaz like us it is a norm for us to perform in front of our peers and on stage we learn this from a young age ❤
Even more so when your nan is the kapa haka teacher 😂
the photo he is holding could be someone from the group who has passed on this is in remembrance of that person, also possible that person was a hunter.This waiata (song) is dedicated to that person
The young boy in the photo was a fella student, friend and a well respected person within his school. He was also apart of the rugby team who took out the world rugby champs. He sadly passed away at the beginning of last year this was the roopu’s way of farewelling him. A beautiful bracket❤
Thank you so much for reacting to our beautiful Maori culture from New Zealand/Aotearoa. Many blessings.
Our pleasure!
Kapa haka is huge as we totally respect our Maori culture very moving when you see a kapa haka or or a haka live let's you know what our country is all about to everyone who visits
Hey Kiwi Glen! We always enjoy learning about the Maori/NZ!
That is one of the best performances I've ever seen!! This younger generation of haka performers...ka mau te wehi!! So near perfection 🥰
This was great. I had no idea what Kapa Haka was so looked it up. I usually read comments for context but no one is on yet, lol. I will have to find out more about this. I loved it.
Thank you for learning with us!
Thanx Demo, luv ❤️ watch n guyz from Auckland,New Zealand, Arohanui.
Thank you. Short and sweet, thank you for checking out part of New Zealand's culture.
Part of Māori culture! Nz culture is different
@@taamecollier3088
It sure is, I 💯% agree with you!!!!
NZ culture is WAAAAYYYY different from our Maori culture of AOTEAROA!!!!
Proud of our Maori Culture here in New Zealand! So beautiful 💕
Please please do more Kapa Haka reaction videos. If you can find “Te Hekenga a Rangi Te Arawa Regional 2024 Full Performance” I guarantee you will feel the spirit of the Māori people.
thank you for your kind words as a nz maori i cant find the words to tell you how much i love our culture and how proud of our people i am so much love to you and your whanau (family) welcome to our world
❤️❤️
Thanks for watching! Be sure to like this video, subscribe, and send in videos you would like us to react to: forms.gle/QKTdGbAWbfeGDoSf7
I love being Maori .xxx
I love this reaction. I love the culture and one day home to visit New Zealand in my travels.
As a kiwi living in Australia
Thankyou.. love it
You are welcome.
From Aotearoa, New Zealand!!! My name is Maria Kawiti..
Kiaora Ra Korua..
Means 'Thankyou,' for your reactions to our Haka performances!!! Tau Ana!!! Awesome!!!
kia ora!
The hands shake is called wiri. It represent the essence of life. Shimmering light off water, fluttering of leaves and more.
The little white balls are called poi and they are crazy hard lo. You can get long and short poi and they are often used as percussion instruments. The "face" thing, with the eyes called pukana. The women will jut out their chin and the men will poke out their tongue.
I would love to try to twirl the poi to see if I can find a difference.
@TheDemouchetsREACT you were wondering where they got their poi from, they tuck the strings either at their waist or lower backs
That was a fabulous performance thanks for showing this awesome young group
You’re welcome
And the girls tuck their poi in the back
And that look is a pukana woman don't stick out there tounge but the men do that's the only difference between the Pukana I'm a proud NZ Maori and it's amazing watching the world and reacting too our culture it's beautiful to see.... And yes the boy holding the photo passed "Moe Moe Ra" is our way of saying rest in peace be 1 with our
Whenua "land" 💙💜
And I could watch Kapa Haka all night and day as well
Thanks so much
You’re welcome!
The shaking of the hands is something called Wiri, it’s symbolic of the rays that emit from the sun. (In some Iwi (tribes) it also represents the wind) Both men and women do it, women wiri with their fingers together and the men wiri with their fingers apart.
For us it is the frequency at which you operate
Their songs are from the movie The Greatest Showman. That's why they sound familiar.
Men and women wiri, shaking of their hands, to give energy/ Mauri to show they're present... Ready for everything and anything. Tihei Mauri Ora
The "hand movements" (shaking of the hands) are called wiri (pronounced wee ree but roll the R) it allows us to tune into and feel deeply as we connect to the vibrations of the earth , nature and all our surroundings as children and guardians of the land , sea and air. I love watching your reactions to our culture. Thank you
Old songs very important to our people 😊
Think the harmony they used that you were thinking of were Calum Scott-Dancing On My Own
Thank you!
Kapa haka is like our opera , tells a story or has a theme
Kia Ora from Aōtearoa🇳🇿 🔥🔥🔥🔥
first song is a Maori version of Stand up beautiful performance also love the haka it talks about social media and phones i'm pretty sure love the peformances wish my group was that good Kia Ora (thank you) for watching the video too Kia Kaha koutou
shaking of the hands represents the vibration of life , the wind , movement of life its called Wiriwiri
Kia oral. im african living in new Zealand
i still think after 57yrs our wahine (women) are the most beautiful in the world and should be treated with love and respect and cherrished and treated like a natonal treasure
I agree
Watch the movie : Convert.
It’s about Māori culture snd NZ history
Awesome you found some more traditional stuff
Please react to “Te Whanau O Te Maro Hauke”🥹 it’s the same thing but group of young kids competing. You’ll definitely be impressed by this!!!
And these are only high school kids as well and the twirly things the girls use are called Pōi
the shaking of the hands is wiri wiri (the frequency at which you vibrate), the poi (ball on a string - used to be made of flax and a stone, but know wool and plastic, and of short or long lengths) is a tradional weapon for killing birds, lethal on the war grounds when made traditionally, and a graceful manner for which our women employed for which ever purpose at the time.
the grass skirt is made of dried Harakeke, a type of broad strong flax grown here and makes fine linen or dried it hardens and curls.
The wiri is a side to side movement of the whole hand and is not a wriggling of the fingers. Different tribal groups have different styles of wiri. The wiri is said to represent the world around us, from the shimmering of the waters of a bright sunny day, to the heat waves rising from the ground to the wind rustling the leaves of the trees. Each tribal group comes from a unique environment and the different styles of wiri reflect this. The wiri is an integral part of Māori movement, seen in haka, as well as making the deceptive movements of Maori warriors, which is essential in the arts of combat.
Nga mihi aroha ki a kourua. Much love to you both for reacting to our school kids sharing our culture to the world at the national competitions. The struggle is real but we hold all that we have and a little more, never to fold and never to lose to the dark. Remain well.
I'm proud of my country and language, I am Maori and from New Zealand
I heard the shaking of the hands represents many things ; from the winds of Tawhirimatea blowing through the trees, showing you first one side of the leaf, then the other, to the good and the bad; life and death.
This should also help.
These are the categories when competing.
tira (warm-up song), whakaeke (entrance song), waiata-ā-ringa (action song), haka (challenge), pou or mōteatea (old-style singing), poi (coordinated swinging of balls attached to cords), and whakawātea (closing song).
Thanks!
kia ora, this is a tribal interpretation of their message to the people.
the kapahaka (maori dances) and the waiata (song) develop over time, as this is how we pass history down to our mokopuna (grandchildren), with display and song, intense or funny. Haka is used for three things.
1 to pour heart and soul into a celebration
2. to pour our heart out as we tangiwai (mourn)
3 to show potential enemies or rivals how nuts we are and dont mess with us. This is often used at Marae, and a karangamai (women calling us on ) is the only reason we get to cross onto the marae - it pays to have a koha (envelope containing money - or kai (food)) to hand over as a show of good intention,
Our Maori people from New Zealand are so talented! So proud to be Maori thank you for the reaction fam.
You're welcome!
Awesome reaction guys 👏 I appreciate that you watched this with an open mind and tried to figure out meanings of things on your own, and a lot of the things you noticed were correct. Our women are just as fierce (they show the white of their eyes and protruding chin (pukana)), and well respected as our men (proudly standing upfront). The hand shaking is called ‘wiri’ which represents the life force that flows through us, carrying ourselves and all that have come before us. It shows we are alive connecting us to everything and doesn’t stop until we die.
I hope you do some more kapa haka or even Māori artists. I’d love to hear your thoughts on ‘I Am’ by Stan Walker.
Nga mihi ❤
Thank you. We love learning about this culture. Somehow we are right about it most of the time 😅. Music gets flagged, but we heard the song after watching the movie, Origin. It’s definitely a song everyone needs to hear!
You should defo react to Te Puku O Te Ika A Maui from 2023 ITS BOMBBB
Nga mihi! im happy you liked it, means alot to us
Great performance from all the kapa haka ropu’s 💯👏🏽
Every Kura I went to growing up kapa haka was like part of our subjects if you was in bilingual unit you didn’t have a choice weather you liked it or not
Each song or piece has a unique name a style to the performance , like a catergory system almost as each song has difference uses and applications to our culture for it be a tangi ( funeral ) birthday , war , celebration , remebering ancestors and old stories , romance and lullabies also and most foreigners favourite a haka or war dance , usually two to three types one being the use of body by men , second use of weapons and tools , and third could be women included and or their own using poi
Can you please React to "TKKMONK 2021 nationals" it's a high school performance, fun fact they only had 24 performaners on stage (min amount your allowed to have perform in a competition stage ❤❤❤❤ love the reactions yous have great day or night ❤❤❤

I performed for years and currently looking to get back into and to mix it up yes I’m very fareskinned haha (white) but it was how I was raised had to deal with a lot of frowns but hey I showed them in my love for the culture and my performance
The correct pronunciation of what you call those little white balls are poi and how to correctly say it is like boy but replace the b with a P but is spelt Poi 👌

In Maori (say Mah-oldie one word) the wiriwiri (say widdywiddy) hand quivering/shaking has two purposes:
1 - I bear no weapons
2 - To share life force from the soul by creating a ripple effect which the hands start from the eyes and spread away from the body
The shaking ifbthe hands is called a wiri. Its to show the life force within oneself. And both women and men wiri.
In reference to his repetitive hand gestures he is paying respect to the ones passed and gone above and to under the ground and our lands🔥
❤💙Love all my POLYNESIANS PEOPLES❤️💙🌺🤙
you've had a slight insight to how we are raised here in ruterangi. As you can see being demonstrated in front of you, you will see leadership roles, public speaking, working together in choreography, learning where you fit with your voice/ notes and how to be a productive member of a team while doing so, performing arts, learning how to follow a leader whilst having back ups ready incase the leader is not up to task for whatever reason, at the same time, youre learning whats going on in the world around you and demonstrate that knowledge through art, at the same time learning who they are, where they are from and embodying that in such a way that the art can be literally felt. The men also get to experiment with the control of their aggression and simultaneously learning to communicate. A lot of essential lessons required in an upbringing. Like I said its only a slight insight, the flip side to that coin is we do not have enough of our rangatahi (youth) participating in kapaz. Plenty of reasons why but i believe you need to at least do one campaign in kapa haka to uderstand any of the above. That one campaign is usually enough to create a lifetime member. There are exceptions to the rule like me, Im done with kapaz and dont even like it, but, i cant deny the things it has taught me throughout my life.
please you have to do Te Rangi Āniwaniwa school next 2023
check nga puna o waiorea 2022 natinals but te maurea wiritoi my faveriot

Yous should react to (Mau Rakau) New Zealand's deadly martial art
Tēnā koe Yashaalah
You’re welcome!
You should see Merrie Monarch festival
Both men and women shake their palms the name for it is a wiri, but men do it with their fingers spread a bit and women do it with their fingers connected
13:15 This here is called a pukana. It’s meant to basically scare off our opponents we’re hakaing to and to show that we’re taking our stand there as a rōpu (group) seriously. That’s why they look so serious as u mentioned a lil back in the vid. Pukana is used by both genders, the only difference is the woman don’t poke their tongues out like the males do only coz the males r supposed to be the protectors and the females back them up
11:44 they are giving their ancestry link & their tribal Waka
You have to do some college rugby haka where the whole schools participate
