- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- I was lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time. We were on our way home when something odd was happening. This group was doing a Flash Mob - like Haka at Sylvia Park.
The haka we performed was written by Ngapo Wehi over 10 years ago. His son Tapeta Wehi taught us it while we were in training for the Opening Ceremony of the Rugby World Cup. After our first week of training we had a free day to do what we wanted. This is what the 50 of us come up with ;)
EDubEru he aha nga kupu o tenei haka?
Sensational idea! So powerful 👊
this is brutal, imagine when they did this to their enemies, I'd run
It scares off enemies
@@morisuesue8866 well it is a war cry
Well there enemies happened to be other Māori…their enemy most likely went “fuck yeh let’s do this” did their own haka then they proceeded to kill eachother
i agree i am a white kid from Massachusetts usa and i know two, soon to be three hakas. i did the research and i preform them with respect. as i preform a haka, i keep in my mind that i do not in any way own it. i love the ferocity and intensity of the hakas and the maori as a whole i respect all and thank all for what they have given the world.

WHITI TE RA! HI!
Out comes the sun! Ahh!
to prolong these sunny days of peace.
I have a little bit of Maori blood in me but mostly Samoan and European blood, but this video makes me so grateful that I even have any Maori in me, Kia Kaha!
I love this, and also wonder what traditional warriors would think upon seeing this.
I can't help but thrust my hands in the air and cheer at the end, even though I am neither a native nor a soccer fan. It's so visceral I love it. I hope that's not bad.
This is the manliest dance/choreography that I have ever seen! It's so powerful!
Much respect From Morocco , i just realy want to visit NZ i wanna learn this Haka
K.
This is awesome. I am German, living in Tasmania but even at my age I like to join in when I watch this. Too cool.
@1:06 dat kick off the jandal action doe ;) lol this is toooomeke
This gave me freaking chills, never seen haka before. Got a weird combination of sensations. Something between witnessing Uruk-hai march in middle earth and wanting to be a warrior in battle! Freaking Māori people are epic.
My god, just watching gets you pumped up.
Haka sends (wonderful) chills up my spine every time I hear and watch. What a powerful form of expression!
What a great culture
I love how they just casually walk away after it's over as if nothing happened
everyone joined. lovely
Mad love! Seriously if u cant appreciate the effort that went into this then get to stepping... Ive watched it sooo many times and am loving it!!
it makes every hair on my head stand up! i LOVE this culture!!!! i've got to visit there some day.
I heard one person respond to the call, from a second-floor of that Terrace, and he ran all the way down to get to the haka. I love this culture!
i love it. Took a trip to New Zealand a few months ago and was in awe of the land and its people. kia kaha!
Fabulous guys! Makes me homesick, proud & so looking forward to World Cup Rugga 2011.
I'm glad that we still have some warrior chants still preserved and passed down through generations. It's sad that so many warrior chants have been erased in time from so many great warrior cultures. Thank you Maori Warriors for keeping the tradition alive so the chant can energize the warrior within us all no matter where you live or what culture you are from. Best regards from here in America, long live the Haka.
im from South-Africa and that was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! nice nice nice its going to be a goooood worldcup
I well love to learn HAKA , God bless you All , From Egypt with Love
2021.. August 30.. still the best ever.. 😂😂😂.. love from Auckland
You boys were outstanding at the opening ceremony, brilliant, maoridom at its best
Respect for the guy who ended his phone call to jump in the haka 📈📈📈
Now, this is the greatest thing I have just seen this in the history of YT. 😊😍
I love this...makes me very happy to have embraced such a culture. Awesome job guys.
times like this i love the world and all the different cultures...
Mahalo For the Haka; All I Can say is Awesome :-) Thanks Again From the Fiji Island
Your'e awesome kia ora koutou!
This made me cry thinking about home.
this is soo cool but cracks me up at the end when they walk off like nothing happenend lol very well planned. LOVE IT!!
Primo! Way to go.. that looked like 30-40 guys doing the haka so just imagine if there were more! Would be friggin amazing!
The best flash mob haka I have seen!!
That. Was. Absolutely. Positively. Beautiful. I would have DIED if I had caught that!!!
Loving the Haka. Reminds me of my teacher, Dr Robertson who tried to teach us a bit of his culture to his Bruneian students.
Go All Blacks!
Amazing. Gave me goosebumps. I hope I come across one!
Wow that flash mob just grew and grew and grew. It was like watching a supernova explosion really.
THIS IS ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS I HAVE SEEN!!!!
This is awesome! Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I'm not even a kiwi! Roll on the World Cup!!
far this is so awsum..... loving it
Haha this is AWESOMENESS!! My school tried to make a world record for the most students doing the haka in one place :) Learnt the Haka off by heart now.
I have supported the All Blacks for all my life, (2nd Team is Ireland) and this is awesomeness to see people doing flash-mob hakas around Aux. Maybe should try one in town eh? :)
Im a South African and support my country first and any southern country second. This was fucking awesome, gave me goose bumps! Love the 2011 World Cup spirit!
New zealand tribes were the scariest things before weapons, its great to see that this heritage still lives on. I live in australia and i learnt the haka when i was younger because it is amazing.
This is VERY beautiful to see
Wow, awesome to see and amazing culture...wish Africans had something like that *liked*
probably the best flash mob ever
Well that's the scariest flashmob I've ever seen!!
Thank goodness there were no ceremonial be-headings! Nothing like a good Haka!
Great video of a Maori haka flash mob! it would have been mean to have been there!
I had to send this onto Cambell Live although i suspect they have been bombarded with it already. I hope they enjoy it as much as I have. pumped for RWC 2011
This is the best thing I have ever seen.
Shivvers down the spine!!awesome xx
for some reason this made teary.
@aoteagirl60 Thanks girl nice to be appreciated :) It was outstanding to be a part of Maui Potiki and for all of us to be part of the opening ceremony as well as performing five flash mob haka, hopefully there's one more flash mob haka left in us yet, in the not too distant future heheh!
OMG!!! I LOVED IT! BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!
This video gives me the chills.
OMG this is so awesome beyond belief
that people love to see it, get an adrenaline rush from it, and try to perform it, is NOT a way to disrespect a native culture! it's a way that we DO respect the dances, songs, language, warcance or whatsoever. it will more tell you that we are jealous about the fact we don't have something like Haka. so be proud, not angry that people try to perform it...
Greeting From Holland
Beautifull damn can't stop watching it
I AM SO AMPED RIGHT NOW AFTER WATCHING THIS!!!!
Es impresionante como se suman instintivamente, eso sí es tener tus raíces presente
Muy buenoooooooooo..... je ojala en argentina fueramos asi!!!!!!!!!!! increible
This is so awesome!
Ka Pai!
Really cool! I would love to be somewhere and witness that live.
Well done. What amazes me is the mall?? I have been away from home too long. :)
that was awesome as I wish I was there to see it :-)
Love the guy on the phone. "Sorry, I need to haka."
Lol.. I like how the others "pretend to not be part of it" & then they slowly join in.. This is very cool!!
damn...just watching this gets me pumped up
MEAN MAORI MEAN BOIZ... itz awesome to be Maori living in Brisbane, Australia watching our tane representing our culture.. loving it:-)
That was cool :) I'd love to see a flash mob one day
awesome, I love how at the end they all just go off as if nothing happened. I guess that is what this Flash Mob or whatever you call it is all about.
Gooosh i miss the World Cup Hype in Auckland .. loooove it
Haylez Faumui u
They local natives putting on a good show! Bravo
The best flash mob EVER !
Amazing! Wish I was there!!! Spine tingling! :-)
that was very impressive and I loved it
that was cool.. enjoyed the video.. thanks for the post!!
Every time I see a Haka I wish I was born a Maori, and I'm from the US. I've never seen a more powerful example of heritage and pride than a Haka.
everytime i watch this i get the chills :P
omg, I got goosebumps and I didn't even see it in real life O_O
That was awesome. Well done guys.
Almost 1 million.. nice one.
love all these
Everyone just leaves at the end, Lol. Awesome!!
@Herc2770 Oh ok, so they all do the "Haka" with the same words? just different physical movements?
Man i am not gonna lie that was the tightest flash mod i have ever seen!!!
The best flash mob haka yet... Tu meke my Maori... Now that's mana!!!
And Junior is that you on this clip ea lol
@Dafeaz also wanted to add, Uniformity in a haka is what Haka professionals would think as tidy but a little boring. The haka is called Maui Potiki and written by Ngapo Wehi, one of the most experienced and top Kapahaka tutors of all time, a very humble man at that.
It's a great dance! I don't know why some would criticise this as inappropriate or overused! Even if it isn't spontaneous it oozes challenge
now that is an awesome flash mob
From french rugby player : it's AWESOME!!!
I really like your culture and how proud you are of.
Please, i'd really like to learn more about this particulary HAKA. Tell me where can i have some information about it.
Thx and have a nice NZ-france the 09-24-11!!!
Wish I could buy everyone of those guys a beer
This is soooo awesome everyone watching this should learn it and do another one??????
woohooo I was der watching, it was Amazing I love being a New Zealander!
Amazing. Simply amazing.
FAAA THIS IS MEAANNN MAORI MEAAN ! LOVEED IT SHOULD DO SOME MORE LOL IN BRISBAANEE ! HAHA ! CHURR MEANN MAORII !
All right guys i think it's good job :D
but please explain what these guys are doing 'cause i really want to know
also my friends want to know what is it :)
@Dafeaz i just wanted to say that the guys doing this haka were professional, they are Maori which is awesome, but you can tell that each and everyone of those guys was feeling that IHI, WEHI AND MANA, the way they freestyle and have there own unique moves in the haka, showcases what a haka can look like and make a spectator feel like.
