The term Kapa haka (kapa meaning 'rank' or 'row' and haka
refers to a Maori dance) is commonly known in Aotearoa as 'Maori
Performing Arts' or the 'cultural dance' of Maori people. Kapa
haka is an avenue for Maori people to express their heritage and cultural
identity through song and dance.
It can be said that Kapa haka dates
back to pre-European times where it developed from all traditional forms of
Maori pastimes; haka, mau rakau (Maori weaponry), poi (tiny ball attached
to rope or string) and moteatea (traditional Maori songs). The significance
of these everyday activitites were influential to the development of kapa
haka.
A kapa haka performance involves choral singing, dance and
movements associated in the hand-to-hand combat practiced by Maori in
precolonial times, presented in a synchronisation of action, timing,
posture, footwork and sound. The genre evolved out of a combination of
European and Maori musical principles.
Every two years, kapa haka
from all parts of New Zealand compete in Te Matatini, New Zealand's
national Maori performing arts competition for adult groups. This stamp
issue features the winners from the 2009 competition.

The
stamps were issued in sheets of self adhesive stamps. Gummed stamps
originate from the miniature sheet.
