Māori perform haka on BBC World

A Māori performing arts group performed a haka live in the BBC World studio. The New Zealand government has announced a deal that acknowledges Māori ownership of the Ka Mate haka - famous for being once performed by the All Blacks before each of their rugby games.

This news has made headlines across the world, including the BBC which has included informational videos entitled "What exactly is a haka?" and "How to respond to a haka" to their website.

To add to their coverage BBC World invited members of the Māori Arts Performing Company to perform a haka live in the BBC News studio.

The clip of their haka is currently the most popular video on the BBC's website.
