Judging is harder than I thought.
my next challenge on my summer learning journey is to rank three performances from previous te matatini festivals.
After watching 3 clips this is how I ranked them.
#3 My least favorite one out of the 3 clips was Te iti kahurangi. My reason for this is because there weren't very many actions. I did not like the music.
#2 The second favourite is Tamatea Arikinui. There was lots more actions, but they repeated themselves over and over again.
#1 My favourite is the one that I really like. Te Puku o Te IKa. I really really liked the song and music. There wasn't many actions but they were all different.
Have you been to one of the Matatini festivals before? I think I would like to attend one some day.

I myself haven't been to a Matatini festival, but have been to several cultural festivals. Judges have a hard job on their hands. There are always so many talented groups to choose between.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job ranking these performances. I would have to agree with your choices. My favourite would also be Te Puku o Te Ika.
Hey Sam,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you judging is harder than it looks isn't it. I really like how you have ranked the performances and provided plenty of details why you decided to rank them the way you did. Te Puku o Te Ika put on an amazing performance and I would also rank them as number one. The performance was so emotional and strong that it had me curious as to who the man was they were mourning. Who do you think the picture is of?
I have never been to a Matatini festival but we have a very similar festival in Taupo. The Tuwharetoa festival is where Kapa Haka groups from all the schools in the Taupo region come together and perform. This is a huge festival in Taupo that everyone gets involved with.
I hope you have a lovely day,
Megan
