Kapa Haka is a traditional Māori performing art from New Zealand that combines dance, music, and chanting. It involves groups of performers, known as a haka, who express their cultural identity through synchronized movements, songs, and powerful gestures. Kapa Haka is often performed at cultural festivals, competitions, and significant events, showcasing the rich heritage of the Māori people.
The performances typically include various elements such as waiata (songs), haka (war dances), and poi (ball on a string). Kapa Haka serves as a way to preserve and promote Māori culture, allowing participants to connect with their ancestry and share their traditions with others.
