New Zealand reclaims world record for largest mass haka after more than 6,000 people perform the Maori war dance.

France had held the world record since September 2014 when 4,028 people slapped their thighs and bellowed the chant following a rugby match in France Brive-la-Gaillarde, southwestern France .

The Ka Mate haka was composed around 1820 by the warrior chief Te Rauparaha to celebrate his escape from a rival tribe's pursuing war party.
