Te Maurea Whiritoi 2015

Kapa haka performance of Te Maurea Whiritoi from the Tainui Secondary School Kapa Haka Competition at Claudelands Event Centre 2015.
Waiata Tira - Murimuri Aroha (00:00)
This is a love song that acknowledges the lines of lineage bound together by Tūrongo and Māhinaarangi between Tainui and Te Tairāwhiti.
Whakaeke - Ngā Tihi Tapu o Tainui (3:25)
This whakaeke likens the performers to the patupaiarehe of Tainui, particularly, the mountain peaks famous for these supernatural beings. In doing so, we pay homeage to the different tribes of Tainui waka who have gathered for this prestigious event.
Whaikōrero (6:57)
Waiata Tawhito - Karakia o te Tōanga (9:21)
This waiata stems from 'Te Karakia o Te Tōanga' of Tainui waka. A karakia recited by Rakataura to help haul the ancestral canoe to the ocean so that it could set off on its great voyage to Aotearoa New Zealand.
Poi - Ngā Rā o Hune (12:08)
100 years ago, New Zealand soldiers attacked Gallipoli. With that, our minds are cast back to the time where young Māori men were conscripted to fight a battle that was not of their making. This poi is a well-known waiata of Waikato.
Waiata ā-ringa - Te Hua o Te Kawariki (16:24)
This waiata ā-ringa pays homeage to a number of dearly departed loved ones that were taken before their time.
Haka - Ngā Whakawai-a-Whiro (20:24)
This haka addresses the idea that this ever-changing world continually surrounds our rangatahi with negative temptations. These are very hard to resist, as it is all they see in their daily lives. In a time where hope seems futile, where can our young people turn? We remind them of the eternal words of Sir Apirana Ngata. Attain enlightenment so that you can make informed decisions for your life. Holdfast to the customs, morals and values of our ancestors, as this can safeguard you from the negative temptations of this world. With these tools and inner strength, we encourage our rangatahi to arise as their own leader, and future leaders of our people.
Whakawātea - Te Hua Rau Mahara (23:46)
This whakawātea pays homage to those who have passed, as well as all those gathered together for this prestigious event. It uses metaphors that are connected to the venue of Te Papanui to thank everyone from the far reaches of the region for attending this event.
