Mish Mash

Today we performed for Mish Mash TV. You should check us out. It will be on channel 30 (freeveiw) on Tuesday the 28th of June. It will be on at 7.30am, 9.30am and again in the afternoon at 4pm.

We performed a song we have only just started learning.

Our practice performance

We are recording our performances so we can see what we need to do to improve. 

We are able to feedback when we have watched ourselves. 

At the moment we are learning to show passion in our performance by lifting our heads high.

 We have been watching performances from other kapa haka groups to inspire and help us lift our own performance.

We are singing a beautiful song about rainbows.

Last week we learnt the lyrics and this week we learnt the actions. Here is our song...

Titiro atu ki te rangi Look to the sky
Whiti te marama I te po Moon shinning at night
Heke iho ana te ua Rain falls
Te tini me te mano o nga whetu Thousands of stars

Te raukura hirahira The great/important feather
E kanapu ana I te rangi shinning brightly in the sky
Na nga tupuna tis our ancestors
Nga kaumatua tis our elders
E rere ana I te po Flying around at night

E rere Fly
Rere atu Fly on
E rere Fly

Hoki atu ra Return
Ki te po uriuri To the gloomy night
Ki te po tangotango To the very dark night
Ki te po te kitea e To the night that is seen/recognized
Titiro atu ki te rangi Look to the sky
Uenuku tu mai ra Rainbow stand tall
Na te huia a nga turehu Tis a Huia of our decedents
E rere ana i te po Flying around at night

Te raukura hirahira The great/important feather
E kanapu ana I te rangi shinning brightly in the sky
Na nga tupuna tis our ancestors
Nga kaumatua tis our elders
E rere ana I te po Flying around at night


E rere Fly
Rere atu Fly on
E rere Fly
