Beautiful dancing from our wonderful pacific tamarikis. Keeping the traditions instilled in our kids for generations and generations to come. The dancing, keeping in sync as one, moving as one and singing as one and the main thing. Keeping the attire on through the whole performances. Kai pai, tumeke and kia orana kuki airani wahines. All the best and keep this going.

Simply beautiful 🤌🏽 So much grace and love seen through your dancing, loved the ending tho 😂 Gotta have some fun with it 😁 My most fondest and happiest memories was dancing & performing. Well done girls, you done your nana proud 🙌🏽
Great dance but why do people come up to hug u guys during your performance? I saw several other videos where this happened. Thanks so much. What a beautiful culture
Thank you and thanks for the question. In many pacific cultures it’s a way of families showing their love for the dancers and their families. We put money on them and Lolly necklaces to show our pride and to encourage them (the dancers) to continue learning and upholding our cultural traditions. When they feel our love and receive money, they associate that joy with our culture and who we are, and they learn from a young age to love it. It’s rather distracting but the dance is not really for our entertainment, it’s their expression of love for their nana, their family and their island. So we don’t really need to watch it uninterrupted, we just feel the spirit of joy, love and pride as everything unfolds. And that’s why we dance for our loved ones, to fill their hearts with pride. It draws families close and keeps us connected.
@@mokafotu the first song is Tangi Ke and the second song is Manea, she just mixed it in from the fast beat of the song and then it goes back into the choruses. Then the band just start playing their random beat and strum.

It's the NZ Maori geneology of creation from the very beginning. In the beginning there was the nothing, from the nothing(te kore) there was darkness (te po) and from darkness there was light through the separation of Ranginui and Papatuānuku. Ranginui is the Sky Father, Papatuānuku is the Earth Mother and from there came Tangata Maori (mankind/Maori people). This is not the literal translation just the jist of what it is singing about. Ko tenei te timatanga o Te ao (This is how the world began).
I've been looking for the recipe for te paraoa, and yours is awesome! I would give it a try. Thank you for sharing! Kia ora rawa atu! P.S. He ataahua ngā waiata, e whakaikeike ana i te wairua!
