Kapa Haka


Neke ma.to the. the kaia said and the first song started with great clarity and volume. It was Kapa Haka time and we were recording our performance in  our hall at Wainui Beach School. It was nine thirty and we had just started.

Because the kaia had said neke mato every other person in the lin would step out. That meant only three people were in front of me. I was in the boys second row. The boys rows were at the back behind the girls. But when we stepped out into the gaps there were only all together three people in front of me.

After the first song finished we did two more, then the Kaia said neke moui and I went back to my place in line. Then we did our transition huka. It's a great haka especially because the girls can participate in it. When we finished the transition we were at the front and the girls were at the back. That's when we started the boys scary haka. Quamo said the boy Kaia, and we all said, HE. Then we finished the haka. 

After that we transitioned back and finished with one more song.
THE END

  1. Hi Nathan, I really enjoyed your blog. Maybe next time you could work on the spelling of the maori words like Hi and maybe a little bit more detail too. On a whole I think that your blog was really great and guess what I was in second row too.
