Ka Hao (rhymes with kapow) is a choir of Māori youth from the East Coast of NZ (where Highway 35 is). The older kids wrote a bunch of songs and this was one of them, just talking about the people and places along that coast.
After I seen this blow up on tiktok I took a deep dive into the Māori people and fell in love with the culture.. I want to visit them so bad from America but don’t know where to go to stay..
Its all beautiful here :) Beaches in the far north, beautiful lakes in Rotorua, the river in Taupo. Im sure you would enjoy yourself no matter where you went and we would love to have you Nau mai haere mai e hoa
35 took NZ by storm with its infectious vibe, bilingual lyrics and inclusion of local talent to provide a top class recording. Alongside artists like Stan Walker six60, LAB and others you have unearthed more great NZ talent. Remember when you visit Australia NZ is only a short plane ride from there. Keep up the great reactions Nick and stay healthy & happy❤
I love your reactions to our Māori culture even when you don't know who the performers are, you always say i can feel the emotion just like we do when we sing you give us pride in our performers who represent us thank you Nic please take care
Glad you’re back, panic attacks are absolutely horrible. As much as I love your vids (especially when you react to vid s from my country like this) your mental health should always be number 1 priority ❤
Churrr Thank you for ya Reaction. I am from the East Coast of NZ (Ngati Porou Tribe). #Highway35 Much Love ❤❤🙏 This is just Māori being Māori 🥰 Sharing the love and pride of who we are and where we come from
really enjoyed your reaction to this song. Like LAB this artist is from Aotearoa (NZ) not Australia 😊 The song is bilingual and shows some of the scenery on the east coast of NZ. Kalega is another awesome Rob Ruha song and well worth a reaction 👌
I think it is something in the water in New Zealand! Them folks can sang! Rob Ruha is the business... Love it! Maaaan, I wish I could ride down highway 35!💞💞💞💞

The name Ka Hao (easiest way to say it would be CAR HAW) :D comes from a proverb that talks about youth growing up and entering adulthood and the responsibilities of that transition, they are descendants of Māori heritage, 35? is state highway 35, the children or young adults are singing about the areas in New Zealand they are from thank you for all you do love your reactions ... strong a true to you
I love that your reaction to our Maori culture Natives of New Zealand note the Maori language is taught throughout all the schools of Aotearoa(New Zealand) Music is in our blood in our culture, you would hardly find a maori who can’t sing
Just incase you missed it, 5:35, he says “state highway 35, Tokomaru for a PAUA pie”. Other places around the world call PAUA=Abalone ☺️ Has one of the prettiest inner shells you’ll see 😁
Straight up brother alot of underdogs get unnoticed because off their gangsta lifestyle its sad because ive seen so many talented brother waste to the life of meth and violence abuse etc... ive even lost brothers that not many have heared of to the gang life it sucks so bad bro
It’s the indigenous language of NZ and by the way, great attempt at pronunciation. You have heard Stan Walker use the same language it in his cover of “Don’t dream it’s over” by Crowded House
Pretty much the same area that LAB is from. East coast/Te Urewera, New Zealand/Aotearoa. Some of the best musicians on this earth. And most is indigenous.
🗣You Got it Brus ! 👍🏽 Good Vibes , Good Energy and Excellent Performance of Maõri Music 😂😂😂 Defs not Australian Indigenous Music ‼️✅👌🤜🏻🤛🏽Glad you Enjoyed the Song Mate ,Awesome Reaction as Usual ✌
So I trust my tipuna (ancestors, those that passed) plus my hometown land, marae. I wanted to say after we loose a loved one, early days bru don’t be hard on yourself.Listen to some waiatas. Then it turns out that’s my whanau(family). I think I once said you should visit. If you answer I’ll tell ya more. Everyone sings here so it’s like breathing. Te Reo spoken by majority of Maori. The song is essentially sharing our home.
Love that you enjoy some good NZ music. They are singing in English and Maori (pronounced Ma-or-ri and you roll the r's together). Love to you from New Zealand, keep up the great reactions :)
Love the way you critique in your reactions to alot of native Maori muso's... we have a Maori muso by the name David Grace & his Injustice band you will like his style and his lyrics are powerful check him out bro. "David Grace & Injustice" and his "Equal Rights" song... RU-vid has 2 of his Album's up on their site... "Weapons of Peace" & "Rebelling" ...Enjoy 👌🙌💜
