Bonus Activity: Musical Festivals – Matatini
In New Zealand, a huge festival is held every two years, called Te Matatini. This performing arts festival celebrates the tikanga (culture or customs) of Māori. Kapa Haka groups from around New Zealand are invited to attend the festival and each group gives a 25-minute performance. The performances are judged and the best teams win prizes.
Watch these three clips from previous Te Matatini festivals.
Te Iti Kahurangi
Te Puku o Te Ika
On your blog, rank the performances from your favourite (#1) to least favourite (#3) and tell us why you gave them the ranking that you did.
I think the first one (Tamatea Arikinui) was the best one for me because they were moving a lot which is good. #1
I think the second one (Te Iti Kahurangi) was my my second best one because I liked their singing. #2
I think the third one (Te Puku o Te Ika) was my least favorite one because they didn't move that much. #3
