The Haka
The Haka is an old Maori war chant that the tribes performed before a battle. It is delivered with fierce shouting and thunderous stamping. If anyone want to see such a performance nowadays visit a match of the All Blacks (the NZ Rugby Team). Here's a small movie (Quicktime 4, 2.2MB) which gives an impression of this.
Here is an english translation of one of the most popular Hakas.
Ka mate, ka mate |
It is death, it is death |
