The song "Sanoe" was featured in the "Hawaii's Last Queen", which prompted my search, which is how I came across your site. This is such a touching piece with a beautiful melody. I'm a homesick, local haole wahine, now in TX. This is truly a beautiful version Jessie!
Mahalo for this beautiful, version. I had just finished watching a PBS special from 2006, "Hawaii's Last Queen". It's the real story of the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy & how Liliuokalani had to surrender as Queen. . Produced & released in 1997/The American Experience documentary broadcast on TV by PBS,53min
Homesick Hilo girl here. Whenever my mainland life gets me down, I come to this link and listen to this gorgeous song. So much love in Jesse's performance. Thank you.
This is the best version of Sanoe I've heard so far. My daughter is named Sanoé (we had to add the accent because we live in France) so I like to listen to them all. Thanks! :)
One of my favorite Hawaiian songs. If you know the translation of the words you are singing, then you can tell that the Mo'i nei 'o Hawai'i, Liliu'okalani, wrote with such passion. If you dont know the meaning of the song, I urge you to go and find it.
Thanks for listening. I have recorded several songs from Na Lani Eha, and the songs of Lili'uokalani are some of my favorites. I'm workingo on "Paoakalani".
Jesse - I think this is probably the most beautiful mele you have recorded so far. You are making me cry, it is so beautiful. It seems just suited for you.

I moved away from Hawaii 25 years ago and am still homesick for the music we enjoyed there. One of my favorite songs. Beautiful job, Jesse!
