I was so into this performance that I didn't notice until several rewatches in that the girl in front lost one of her poi lol. Props for not letting that affect her at all and still killing it with one poi ball.

This is the truly LIFE-CHANGING rabbit hole I never knew awaited me. I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY by how amazing this is. And I'm a Canadian that (unfortunately) doesn't even understand what is being sung.

Fantastic to see this. I started the first Maori Culture group at the Girls High School in 1968 when I went there as a teacher. Its fabulous to see how professional school kapa haka groups are now.

Since I saw this video it has become an obsession, it never ceases to amaze me, everything is so incredible, the dances, the voices, I am in love. Could someone tell me what country, town, or island this culture belongs to? I would be very grateful.

Super Hermoso y muy buena coordinación en la danza
Por favor. Me pueden decir como se llama la canción. Gracias. Ah y si la podrías subtitulada al español. Mil bendiciones.
