The art of taking us back in time and making us feel the mana and spirituality of their dance. Just a few halau are able to do that, this being one of the best! Always a crowd favorite for over 40 years. Some are too old and past the qualifying age limits, but this halau just reloads.

Is the chant the men are singing anything traditional (i.e. anything I could look up)? I'm learning te reo Māori, but I've been really enamored with these performances, and I'd really like to be able to see the lyrics and look into what they're actually singing about.
If you are looking into te reo maori, one thing to keep in mind is that Maori elders went to the Island of Hawaii and at its southern most tip, they chanted a chant passed down to them for generations that said that they came from a place called Hawaiki, where there were cliffs and mooring holes. Upon seeing the cliffs and mooring holes driven into the boulders and rocks, they cried. Their chants were true. Hawaiians used to speak with the same r, and t long ago before the white men came and changed the language. There are drawings by the British who wrote the names of places in Hawaii still with r, and t in them. They used to still use a ng for n, and a soft v sound for w. The Maori language is very similar to Hawaiian, Tahitian, and Maequesan. In Hawaii the r was replaced by l, the t by k, and the ng by n, and a glottal stop ( ' ) was inserted to signify a missing letter. So when they say Hawaiki, its now Hawai'i. So when pronouncing it, say it with k, then without it. The Maori people are called tanata maori, Hawaiians are called Kanaka maoli, people of the land. Their chiefs are ariti, Hawaiians ali'i. They say Tahiti, Hawaiians say Kahiki. Te = ke or ka = the reo = leo = voice maori = maoli = native, indigenous Capt. Cook took with him a native speaker and he was able to communicate with many people across the Pacific and he theorized that Polynesians were of the same race as how could all the people he encountered could speak the same language across the biggest ocean on the tiniest islands, thousands of miles away.
@@hankakah4180 Yeah, I know it’s all connected, that’s kinda how I stumbled upon this. I’ve already picked up on several differences between te reo Māori and ’Ōlelo Hawaiʻi and just generally scoured wiktionary for a bunch of etymological roots. Digging through all this and learning the language has been very sweet, it’s unlike any of the other languages I speak, and I find the cultural background that comes hand in hand with it pretty great too
I have a question ❓ why did Hawaii have to change so drastically why couldn't you keep it common wealth I understand some maybe poor but the fruit alone and your survival skills should of been enough to keep this butieful place going.what happen to you.i would really like to know.Grandfather are there can elder explain this to me😢🤨🕊️🤍🪽🪽🪘🪶🥰

it's a fairly recent mele or chant for molokai, they give a brief intro at the beginning.
@@kstachel1 Yeah, I figured. I managed to piece together a bunch of phrases from other things I found, so that helped a little bit.
@@hankakah4180this is really interesting. Thank you for sharing it.
Mana
amazing
