Ngā kapa ka tū ki Te Ahurei o Tūhourangi
As we count down to the last two weeks before Te Ahurei o Tūhourangi 2023, we're excited to announce that ten kapa will take the stage at Te Rau Aroha. The kapa are comprised of four whakangahau kapa and six whakataetae (competitive) kapa, coming together to recite our waiata, retrace our whakapapa connections and celebrate our Tūhourangitanga through kapa haka. Auahi ana!
Ngā kapa whakangahau:
Ngā Ngārara o Hinepapa
Ngā uri a Pohiri rāua ko Kaihau
Te Whānau Ruha
Tūhourangi mai i Tarawera
Ngā kapa whakataetae:
Tūhourangi ki Ōtūkawa
Apumoana Marae
Te Papa Rere-ā-Rātōrua
Te Pākira
Te Whānau Makiha
Te Whānau Haira
Kapa whakataetae must perform all of the compulsory items, meanwhile whakangahau kapa must perform at least two (2) compulsory items of their choosing.
Preparations have picked up in previous months, thanks to Manuariki Tini who has taken up the wero (again) to lead the Ahurei organisation and coordinate the performance items, kapa teams and tutors, chase up t-shirt orders and so much more. Nei ngā mihi a te iwi ki a koe, aunty!
E rua ngā wiki e toe ana e te whānau!! TWO WEEKS TO GO! Kia kakama te whakaharatau, learn those words and get those actions on lock. Ka whakanuia te iwi a te Rātapu 11.06.2023.
