[liwai3]

@smoke10108 dont hate on a island you have no clue about,... disliking the island is disliking the hawaiian culture for our blood runs deep within the hawaiian chain... watch your step and words killah dont mess with the islands mana...

[haynboi8o8]

@naniganer

it's called "Mai italia kou lei nani" that's the closest i can find to the correct lyrics is on google search the song and put lyrics "Mai italia kou lei nani lyrics" it should be the first link by Mrs. Hanah Lilikalani

[sheltondk43]

Thank you. What a sweet gift.

[Kailoa36]

[IanOnWeeds]

[lourdesfranc]

he has an interesting voice but his shirt is too tight and a haircut would be nice

[blakespower]

hawaii should be an independent country

[salishbeauty]

oh wow.. this brings me back to our Hawaiian relatives when we lived in Gardena.. Auntie Helen Brigoli and the family always had records going and every Sunday we'd all get together & I enjoyed listening to the songs they'd sing. Tony or Sharon with ukulele.

[4MEFBI]

you deserve a standing ovation!!!bravo...

[oaklandpouha]

Kaumakaiwa, or Lopaka, as his close family and friends know him, is my cousin and Mary Kawena Pukui is our Aunty, not da kine calabash Aunty.....we talkin' blood. My cousin did an outstanding job at performing Aunty Mary's mele!!....GEEV 'UM CUZ!!

[iLiMA808xx]

@oaklandpouha WOAH, PUKUI BLOODLINE...

THAT IS LEGIT!!

[wjc1952]

Research shows Kawena Pukui put her words to this. Not one of the true Lei mele for Kapi`olani. Beautiful nonetheless.

[alika207]

Such a beautiful mele! And what a great voice!

[xwishonfallingstarsx]

Kaumakaiwa should definitely release this on his next CD, or as a single. it's absolutely beautiful, I get chicken skin everytime i hear it.

[hayntaquito]

Lopaka was amazing as was Sean , the guys and the halau. We were in Hawai`i for this concert on the lawn at the Bishop Museum. In addition to the great music, we had some great "talk story" from him as well. Mahalo nui loa to everyone for the fantastic evening!

[wjc1952]

Oh my oh my. This is spectacular. Those who have not heard Kaumakaiwa or seen him dance, you will find him an amazing talent. Choke talent in that `ohana. Mahalo for making the video available to the world. Please see him or Halau o Kekuhi whenever you get the opportunity. We drove from Cleveland, OH to Wolf Trap in Vienna, VA to see them and it was worth every mile we drove.

Me ke aloha,

Auntie Wanda

Cleveland, OH
