kaikapo
1. (noun) relieving singer.
Koia i kapokapo ai te hunga waiata, kia whakatā ētahi i ngā manawa; ka mārama hoki te kaikapo ki te whakarongo atu, ki te hopu i te wāhi māna (M 2006:128). / That is why the singers take it in turns to give the others a breathing spell; the relieving singer is well versed and by listening carefully he can sense when he should take up his part (M 2006:129).
