This is a formal call, ceremonial call a ceremonial call of welcome to visitors onto a Marae, or equivalent venue, at the start of a powhiri. The Karanga is given by women only as the Maori people believe that a woman's voice is a powerful thing because she is the giver of life. Her karanga calls us from the darkness of Te Po and takes us into Te Ao Marama (the world of light). Her energy unlocks the pulse of life.
The Karanga is also used for the responses from the visiting party/group to the ceremonial call from the tangata whenua.
these topics are very interesting because most people are unaware of any culture,and I like very much aware of cultures in the world and still do not know. I liked the subject.
