Merrie Monarch 2008 - Ke Kai O Kahiki - Kane Kahiko

[marcellin20]

wow you must need to be a gym junkie to join in this routine. Truly fit(and hot) brown boys

[taye709]

i want one !!

[sniperchic95]

Yummm so much testosterone! So HAWT. my grandma always tells me to "find nice island boy" ----- imagine this in a Hawaiian accent.

Really beautiful dancing though. I love hula so much. Such art, These men convey the story well. Unison like that take A LOT of practice. No wonder they are buff.

Unfortunately most of my Hawaiian culture is lost to me since we moved away. I don't understand the language anymore, not since I was a baby, yet I am surprised many of the words still sound familiar to me

[KiRiBaTiSOUL]

had to repair my computer screen because it had a limit to how much testosterone should be on the screen at a time :L

[kraols]

perfect! seven guys, one for every day of a week... <3 <3 <3 damn hot!

[eltiagorico1]

No doubt Hula Kane has a real homo-erotic power. However, anyone who just relates on that level, str8 or gay, misses the whole art and beauty and power of Hula. Check my channel out. I am Gay. Yes I enjoy all this, but I must say, I do not see nor feel anything gay about it.. Just awe and admiration. In the west we have been brainwashed to think of only "hula girls". And this is a shame. it has robbed you of your beautiful culture and dance. Mahalo nui loa! Aloha! Haole Santiago. 

[windstorm1000]

the dance is for cultural mores--not titallation....that, being said, I think Polynesian men are the ideal :) yum!!!

[cissy7558]

[jenmajol]

Ua rau e manea a tane o Hawaiki nei... manea manea au ti arofa tumu'e ^_^

[squeeky805]

The costume theyre wearing is called a Pāʻū. Both men and women wore them in ancient Hawaiʻi. It was worn to accentuate the hips as to celebrate fertility. Hula is a celebration of life and fertility. In a traditional hula program, a dance of fertility or Hula Maʻi is the last dance performed.

[bemad2]

I am so in lust with the first guy what a spunk!!

[adazhia]

Wow, that was wonderful. Can someone explain what the frilly costume was about? I usually see Hawaiian guys perform this dance without having to carry the side baskets.

[Melethasgar]

@adazhia

Well, hula dancers back in the day wore these "side baskets", so this is actually pretty traditional stuff! The reeeeeeal stuff!

[ITANAGAR12345]

veryy sexy... powerfull... but didnt like the costumes

[lekili1121]

Maika'i!

[lekili1121]
