Origin of the Haka

According to Maori ethos, Tama-nui-to-ra, the Sun God, had two wives, Hine-raumati, the Summer maid, and Hine takurua, the Winter maid. The child born to him and Hine-raumati was Tane-rore, who is credited with the origin of the dance. Tane-rore is the trembling of the air as seen on the hot days of summer, and represented by the quivering of the hands in the dance.

Haka is the generic name for all Maori dance. Today, haka is defined as that part of the Maori dance repertoire where the men are to the fore with the women lending vocal support in the rear. Most haka seen today are haka taparahi, haka without weapons.

More than any aspect of Maori culture, this complex dance is an expression of the passion, vigour and identity of the race. Haka is not merely a past time of the Maori but was also a custom of high social importance in the welcoming and entertainment of visitors. Tribal reputation rose and fell on their ability to perform the haka (Hamana Mahuika).

Haka reflected the concerns and issues of the time, of defiance and protest, of factual occurrences and events at any given time

Haka History

The centrality of the haka within All Black rugby tradition is not a recent development. Since the original "All Black" team of "New Zealand Natives" led by Joseph Warbrick the haka has been closely associated with New Zealand rugby. Its mystique has evolved along with the fierce determination, commitment and high level skill which has been the hallmark of New Zealand's National game.

The haka adds a unique component, derived from the indigenous Maori of New Zealand, and which aligns with the wider Polynesian cultures of the Pacific.

The All Blacks perform the haka with precision and intensity which underpin the All Black approach.

This week ....

Des the bishop of knocka will be in co presenting the show with Myself and Lenny from Blarney for the rest of the week.

PARTY TIME !

Hey,

Were throwing a big bash at the bodega bar this Thursday evening for the Trinidad & Tobago V England game , steel drummers big screens, cold gatt, and a big of craic, so make sure you in the bar for 4.30 for the session, open invite but ya gotta be shouting for T&T ! (Those of you from EN-GER-LAND are very welcome also)

Big up!

Holy Shit

You know it’s going to be a shit day when the image of a uber tanned Daniel O Dee greats you first thing in the morning. I can’t get my head around the attraction of this ultra conservative crooner, his popularity astounds me. But when you get to the level of superstardom this man has I suppose you can afford a Photoshop graduate student with airbrush in hand to tan up your big cabbaged Donegal head.

Fair play to ya man, - and Aoife thanks for the e-mail with the picture titled “Donegal Catch “

It’s fair well to Cooper this week, best of luck with the new gig and low mileage mate. Our new rooster recruit is Lenny from Blarney, this man can talk, and he is in every essence “Pure Cork “, we have had hundreds of texts from people commenting on how much he sounds like Roy Kean , judge for your self.

Later Skaters,

KC

Back in 2 weeks !

On hols ... see ya soon !

classic.. double click to enlarge .

Happy Tuesday,

We solved a personal enquiry of mine this morning on the Rooster, “what the hell is that bronze Elk statue doing on the hill as you drive
on the Mallow to Cork Rd”?? What’s that about like? Well as it turns out the Mr Sneaky theory is the one were going with, it suggests that thousands of years ago hundreds of Jackeens tried to invade Cork using Trojan Horse tactics, they failed on the grounds of an engineering flaw, they never drilled holes for the Jackeen invaders, they could not breath in the clean Corkionan air, so the silly gobshites suffocated, and to this day the bodies of hundreds of Dublin Warriors remain inside the Elk. Amazing or what?

Any”Cork Questions “you need answered just e-mail Rooster@redfm.ie

Tomorrow we have a really funny call from Gueedo the Australian prankster who breaks his ass “break dancing”

Again win Sky Plus free for a year, and J.D. on T.V. is with us.

Later,

KC

Chucky

I’m gonna get shot for not keeping my blogger up to date, we were warned by the powers that be to keep these things fresh or face the wrath of “the blog father “

Victory Barry was handed the job of blog monitoring and was instructed to kick the shite out of us if we don’t stay on top of it…. Barry’s a huge man who knows wrestling moves and has a criminal record for crushing a mans skull in Lennox’s chipper once, never ever presume you can take chips off Vic Barry.

Cooper never turned up for work today – Leinsteritis me thinks. He is the only member of red fmstaff from Leinster, & after yesterdays provincial pounding in the rugby from a superior region its understandable he stays away. It was an amazing match, oceans of red jerseys and chants of “kill the fuckers - munster” overpowered and out numbered a half-hearted Leinster yesterday. I used to play rugby years ago, after a two way crushing tackle and a week in hospital it was the end of that career.

On the Red Rooster tomorrow win Sky plus for a year for free, PJ from naked camera is back on with us, and there is loads more happening.

I will leave you with this … its KC’s "look a likey" blogger feature,

Who would win in a fight between action hero Dave Mac from Red fm, & motor mouth d.j. Chuck Norris, Mmmmmm, he strokes the chin of uncertainty?

Answers in the comment box please,

Later,

KC

MEAL OR NO MEAL ?

Some were surprised that I made it into work today after yesterday’s adventures in patriotic demise, “check under your car“ was the subject of an e-mail I received yesterday afternoon, no more joking with national anthem I can tell ya !

Also received this very clever re issue of a classic Sex Pistols album cover from Victor the photo shop legend, cheers biy !

We got a great phone Tap tomorrow morning, we prank call the man who set up Perks funfair.

You can also play “ meal or no meal “ 8 cans of various foods with the labels taken off , two blind folds, one tin of prime pedigree chum bow wow chunks and some wicked prizes to be won !

Later,

Radio is a numbers game, you survive in it by generating revenue through advertisements and sponsorship, the more people you have listening the more money you make. So the last thing you want to do is piss off the listeners, well guess what we did today ….

Now to be fare, we don’t get a lot of complaints on the Red Rooster, the odd sketch or throw away comment can offend the most conservative of society, so, when I thought it would be a good idea to remix our national anthem with dj tiestos “ adagio for strings “ it was met with a barrage of patriotic disgust.Ya see the suggestion was that we remix Amhrán na bhFiann, just to get in touch with the young folk who may not appreciate the meaning and purpose of this sacred song.

The way this whole thing started was simple, 90% of young Irish people don’t know the words of our Anthem, so all I wanted to do was re invent it for a new generation, speak their lingo .. ya know. Well after we played our trance-tastic remix we got …wait for it …. 3 COMPLAINTS and several dozen requesting it again. So for our hardened patriots you must understand that it was an issue of heightening awareness and encouraging pride, plus you can’t dance to the original!

We take the piss on the rooster, were not to be taken seriously at all.

Anyway tomorrow it’s a remix of God Save the Queen mashed up with the prodigy’s “smack my bitch up “”

HOW DO?

Well happy Tuesday y'all !

Back after a trip home to the wettest part of the planet, it pisses rain in Mayo for 360 days a year; it snows for the other 5. I had to d.j. at a mates wedding on Saturday night, it ment playing three hours of the worst music ever conceived to 400 of the drunkest people in Ireland, it was rocking. So this morning I have patented the idea for the production of “the worst wedding shite in the world ever “ album - which I think could sell millions.

We found out today 90% of young Irish people don’t know the Irish National anthem in full, tut tut , so were asking our studio literate Rooster listeners to re mix “Amhran Na Bhfiann” what ever takes your fancy really. We reckon a dj Tiesto type remix would be of benefit for the skanger army at the next Dublin riot, sort of a motivational rocky’esk effort; E-mail your efforts as an mp3 to rooster@redfm.ie

On the rooster tomorrow we have Gym membership for the ladies to win, hotel accommodation and dinner @ the city west hotel for the Munster V Leinster this weekend, and tickets for the frames live at the marquee this summer.

You can also win this very exclusive play station game - see above !

Friday.

Wicked !

I know shit loads of you get up very early for work, college or school everyday, but honestly I never thought I would take a gig that insisted on hitting the sack by 10 pm and getting up at 5am, that’s whyI Love Fridays.

The mid week social thing is a no go for me with the show,(although I did fall out of a gaff at 6am and into the show once, what a write off) Drunk F.M. is not encouraged in Red fm towers.

Had a great Phone Tap on the show today which we will replay on the “Best of the red rooster“ tomorrow morning after 10am. It was set up by a gang from a company in Cork that make magic” willy tablets” … ahem. That gang were at the recent Whales V Ireland rugby match, their mate Willie ( the irony) got into some really funny shit, I called him pretending to be the hotel manager from Dublin, oh the craic of it all.

Paul Cashman of Cashmans bookies in Cork gave us some handy tips for the Grand National tomorrow, so check that on the best of tomorrow morning. We also have Matt Molly, comedian Andrew Maxwell, and loads of other bits!

Been really busy putting together tonight’s specialist programming on Red Fm, from 8 check Greg n Shane on Go Deep for some block rocking house Cork style, im up at 10 tonight with guest Bob Sinclair & a 2 MANY DJ’S mix. You can also win tickets to see Soulwax ( 2manydjs) live in Cork so check that ok.


Check me bebo www.kcredfm.bebo.com

Have a rocking weekend.

Good craic on the rooster today, we were messing with sound boards. If you don’t have any friends this is the perfect way to pass your existence, put “sound boards” into google and play with conversation clips of audio, you can wind your mates up …. Oh shit what of you don’t have any??? … ah what ever.

Our sound board prank with Stewie from family guy booking into a Dublin hotel has being played on radio stations all over the world, plus we have a really funny prank call from our mate Jim Jim @ Dublins fm104 ( our fm cousins ) he used Al Pichinos sound board to wind up a guy called Ali

If you missed it check the best of the rooster on Saturday at 10 am, we will play it out again.

By the way the rooster pod cast is coming soon – were putting together a show with really hot new music and best bits from the rooster for you to download every week.

Laters,

KC

Download the battle in full from tomorrow @ www.redfm.ie go to rooster page and look for downloads link.

Gotta bit of catching up on this blog craic to do so here goes…….

Well, not much really to report but lack of kip from last nights excursions to the Radisson SAS for the Motospace Motorola conference which I had to M.C.

I’m generally shy on the public shit and don’t do “talky in mic” events but the bobs were good and I’m trying to buy a gaff so feck it I did it. It went really well, not as daunting as I thought it would be, had a bit of support from comedian Karl Spain who was doing the ha ha feature on the night. He’s a funny man when the crowd gets into him. The event was for the phone retail industry in Cork to show case new technologies from Motorola. I fell in love with these razor lite sunglasses with built in blue tooth receiver and mic, so you can stroll down Pana in the pissing rain with your cool shades talking out loud to yourself, whilst creating the illusion that your mentally unstable, that’s got to be worth paying 300 euro ya ?

Got a good rooster planned for tomorrow, we hope to have a live rap battle with Cork rapper G.M.C. V’s Copper, he launches his album tomorrow.

Laters.
