Does anyone know any good literature on Maori haka?
>>69000324
I would have thought it would be well documented, kiwis love the Maori traditions, just not Maoris
>>69000391
(it probably is I just didn't bother searching and wanted to make a trad thread)
>A late-1990s performance of the haka Ka Mate! by Britain’s pop group the Spice Girls indicated the spread of one aspect of the genre.
W-w-whaaaat?

the spice girls saved music
My mother is a leader of a professional kapa haka team and gives a Maori Performing Arts bachelor at a Maori institute. I can ask her and see what she says if you want
>>69000663
Patrish as fuck
Can't find the performance though.
>>69000668
That'd be awesome. Also ask her how upset people would do if I tried to adopt or make a new haka for my university's program. In Sweden. Where literally no one is a kiwi.
>>69000682
Will do.
Also i believe there's a part of the bachelor she teaches where you have to analyse how the media have affected people's view on haka, so it might even be interesting for her to get a perspective from someone like you
>>69000774
Neat-oh. You should have her do an AMA on /trad/ lmao.
I doubt anything related to haka have ever been covered by Swedish media, so probably not too interesting.
>>69000802
Meh, not surprising.
Anyway I'll ask when it's not 4 am here lol
>>69000904
Thanks. I'll continue trying to read about it so I can, given the chance, ask some relevant follow up questions.
You should adopt a trip so it's easy to recognize you :^)
>>69000926
