Te Pū Ao Hawaiki has taken the stage this morning, delivering a crowd-pleasing performance here at the Maranga Mai E Te Iwi Kapa Haka Regionals.
According to the group's tutors, "they've come to support the cause, as descendants of the North, and we pay tribute to all of those who have travelled from near and far to this prestigious occasion.”
The female leader today is Iritana Davis and the male leader is Mark Morunga.
Here is Te Pū Ao Hawaiki and their waiata ā-ringa.
