FABULOUS, FUN AND FUNKY – HAA IS BACK
Fabulous, fun and funky – the multi-lingual crew from youth show HAA return to Māori Television for a third season with the latest news, views and interviews – every weekday at 6.00 PM from Monday April 16.
Dynamic hosts Whakaangi Rongonui and Kimo Houltham are joined by reporters Tumehe Rongonui and Sara-Lina Brown in their mission to educate, inform and entertain.
Exciting and edgy, HAA – or ‘breath’ – offers a unique and distinct bicultural perspective on youth culture, says producer Wiremu Te Kiri. The bilingual info-tainment magazine show combines slick studio links with high-energy stories as well as the hottest music videos.
“HAA provides a platform for rangatahi to celebrate, highlight and showcase youth culture,” Wiremu says. “It’s relevant to a young audience and is driven by youth culture and what young people consider is important in their lives.”
The HAA team includes siblings Whakaangi and Tūmehe Rongonui (Ngāruahinerangi, Ngāti Porou), Kimo Houltham (Ngai Te Rangi, Te Arawa), who is fluent in both Māori and Spanish, and new field reporter Sara-Lina Brown (Cook Island).
Whakaangi says the show is unique because it’s delivered in both Māori and English. “Rangatahi around the world are into the same things, so HAA is universal.”
Tumehe agrees. “It’s about living and breathing rangatahi styles and representing their flavour in a fun, high-energy way. That’s why rangatahi love HAA.”
Get your HAA on with Māori Television’s hot youth show every weekday – Monday to Friday – at 6.00 PM.
