Haka Works talks with Otene Hopa

Haka Works talks with Otene Hopa about sharing Maori culture with the world. If you get to the end you will be able to hear Otene sing a beautiful waiata. What we talk about:

Pausing and contemplation during Covid 19
His Maori upbringing amongst legends of the haka world including Muriwai Ihakara and Bub and Nan Wehi.
How the discipline of haka has taught how to operate in the broader world.
Travelling to India with haka and performing at Westminster Abbey in front of the Queen
How the language of haka transcends cultural boundaries
How haka helps connect us to deeper parts of ourselves and to each other
Should we be teaching haka to non Maori?
How we can stay grounded as Maori while away from home

Thanks so much to Otene for sharing your knowledge and this korero.
