5 Kapa. 4 Spots. Hardest Regionals To Call? 😬 | Haka Yarns
PSA 📢 At the time of recording and uploading, the whakataetae is still going ahead. We hope everyone travelling and performing this weekend stays safe in this weather. Kia haumaru koutou, otirā, tātou katoa!
This week, we head to Te Tai Tokerau for 'Maranga Mai e te Iwi', where our very own Kahurangi will be judging!
With 9 kapa ngāhau, 5 kapa whakataetae, and only 4 qualifying through to Te Matatini, it’s going to be a tough comp!
In this episode, we preview the kapa and what we know so far, go through the judging panel and what they’ll be looking for, and also touch on the disputes process in Te Tai Tokerau.
PLUS we share our PICKS - who misses out? Te Tai Tokerau is tight e hoa mā!
