"Palehua" a modern Hawaiian song for a place

Here's a song about a place on the leeward side of O'ahu. It was written by Amy Hanaiali'i Gilliom and Willie K during their productive partnership in the 1990s. The melody is modern and a little bluesy. I am playing this in G tuning on my six-string guitar.
