E O Mai

[91pacific]

Une région du monde qui me fait rêver, mais cette chanson est superbe. Les yeux fermés en l'écoutant et je suis à Hawaï. MAGNIFIQUE!

[julianllew]

This guy sings like... well, an angel. Going to see him in a couple weeks in Maui. Aloha.

[jprzcrprz]

Am I just imagining or does Keali'i seem to be as transfixed on this lovely dancer as I was..watching her as she so gracefully put the words from this song into a life of their own..Absolutely the finest hula performance I've ever seen...

[CRAZYMEXICAN5150]

This brings back fond memories of home and the good times out in Waimanalo the windward side of Oahu. Especially being away from home for a long time, I will never forget the aloha culture and the love of family that is still there.

E Homai

E Homai ka ike mai luna mai e

O na mea huna no'eau o na mele e

E Homai, e homai e homai

Bring mich zurück zur Weisheit, zu allem, was über uns ist (auch: dem Göttlichen)

Zum verborgenen Wissen und zu den Liedern (auch: der Freude)

Bring mich zurück, bring mich zurück, bring mich zurück

[Rongowhakaata]

This is song is Amazing.... Great everything ! just really appreciate this talent here

No Aotearoa e whanau maa o Hawaii - He tino nunui te mihi a tenei waiata ataahua

[kaYboi8o8]

This is how you know he's a great singer because he sounds exactly the same live as he does on the CD. Real Hawaiian music

[shoobee101]

@kaYboi8o8 very true.i was like is he lip sync'ing (sp?) the one thing that is different but even better is the music.he came out here to UT. a lil while ago but missed it.i caught his show in vegas though.

[skuuper]

@kaYboi8o8 I agree 100% with you. I live on Oahu and finally got to see him sing this past February in Maui, and I was simply amazed because he DOES sound exactly the same. That's what you call pure talent! Much love and respect for that guy and for everything he has done!

[mamadeeish]

Oh, I love this song... It makes me feel so good to listen to this song. Keali'i your voice is so beautiful.

[mtkegirl]

I love this song!!! Heard it on a plane over in Tahiti, its soo beautiful!!!

[reoataahua]

Me pehea e whakaatu i te ataahau o te waiata nei E o Mai na Keali'i Reichel E o mai, e aro mai i te reo Maori ranei.

[soyo00]

[SuperSommerblume]

@awaprice  super schön lg inge

[91pacific]

Very beautiful song!!!! I try to found his CD in France, it's not easy!

[peatadaly]

@LadyFlatz

theres a kapa haka group here in nz who made a song up with the same tune as this song and you could tell it came from a island song.....so pretty

[alika207]

I love Keali'i Reichel so much. He has a great voice. I still have yet to see him in concert...

[undrcovrangel407]

@alika207

Like your comment! :) If you can make it to at least one of his concerts, you will be left breathless. The singing and the dancing are undescribable.

One of his haumana and fan. :)

[alika207]

@undrcovrangel407 I would love to. Unfortunately, I've come to Hawai'i Nei at a time when he's not on the island I'm on. I've been to Maui twice and leave for Moku O Keawe tomorrow. Yay!

[undrcovrangel407]

Darn it. If you would like I could keep you abrest of his upcoming concerts. I am a haumana of his. there will be 3 shows planned for Feb. at the M.A.C.C. The next in L.A. on March 19, at Disney Concert Hall, Aug. in Honolulu for a competition.

[bluebird2352]

could you plz keep me informed, too? i've never yet been to Hawaii, but i will schedule to get a chance @ attending a performance.

[skuuper]

@undrcovrangel407: do you know when he'll be performing in concert again in Hawaii? My bro wants to go and see him.

[LadyFlatz]

she's beautiful & he's soo amaizing ! from n.z!

[WilliamHW]

Has Ke'a'li'i Reichel ever been nominated for, or won a Grammy Award for his musical talents, for his writing, composing, singing, performing?

Jimmy Bruno, one of the greatest, most talented Jazz Guitarists in history hasn't been nominated for, or won a Grammy. There are many great vocalists, instrumentalists, and other performers in music, who are top notch, and many times superior to many of the nominees and winners of such awards! Ke'a'li'i Reichel's artistry and mastery are wonderful!

[WilliamHW]

Ke'a'li'i Reichel's music, singing, and Kumu - Hula teaching is a true treasure, whether one is Hawaiian or not. His contribution touches hearts of Hawiians and non-Hawaiians alike!

What beautiful music, a beautiful voice, beautiful arrangement, and beautiful Hula!

My wife would nurse our first child, our daughter, Gabriella Laih Pihng to sleep while playing Ke'a'li'i Reichel's album "Kawaipunahele." Our four children hear Ke'a'li'i Reichel via albums often

.

Maui no ka oi!

William

[Cblack08]

This music is what inspires such a deep passion for the islands of Hawai'i.

[oceanscooby]

i love this song. i dont understand what he is saying but his voice is magical. i had to download it so i can hear it in my ipod... :)

[EthnicKID]

the girl dancing is Oralani the daughter of another one of his dancers and also his guitar player...she is also competing in Miss Aloha Hula this coming 2010 Merrie Monarch good luck ORA!!!

[jeni323]

His halau is outstanding. Good luck to this wonderful young lady.

[olivia2starfire]

[aguanteelpaff]

[peatadaly]

Congratulations Keali`i for winning the Miss Aloha Hula 2009 with your cousin. You are both a gift from God and your music perpetuates our Hawaiian culture and heritage.

Me ke Aloha pumehana,

Moana :) xoxoxo

[alohaboxing]

I LUUUUUV the graceful hula dancing and incessant smile.

Big Mama put it down!!

My favorite move in the dance is called the "lele uwehe." You can see this when her leg points forward, is replaced and then both knees pop outward.

[crow984]

[SJBryan66]

Keali'i Reichel. . . Just simple haole folk here, but. . . this is one of the most beautiful songs and one of the most beautiful dancers we've seen. I wish I could translate. . . . but then. . . maybe I'm not supposed to be able to. It's just supposed to be a song that I get to prop my head in my hands and watch. I thought the version I had before was you singing it with Na Leo (affectionately known as. . . The Girls). Have you done this song with them? I could swear you did.

[stanne99]

What a beautiful song and dancer! I wish I could learn to dance like that.

[yg777]

this song is my tranquilizer

thanks
