I fell in love with how Uluwehi Guerrero has personalized this hula classic! It is a beautiful song written by Aunty Alice Namakelua in 1941 for the Maui float in the Kamehameha Day parade. Aunty Alice was a kumu hula, slack key guitarist and an awesome lei maker. She used to teach hula at the District Park in Kane'ohe. She is credited for writing over 180 songs, but only released a single album when she was 84!

No worries kupuna, we're going to slow it down, but just a tad! LOL!
