Culture Night Kāne (Men) - Kahiko "Mele Aloha 'Āina"

This is the men's kahiko for the BYUH Hawaiian Club Culture Night 2008. You may recognize the mele more familiarly as "Kaulana Nā Pua" or "Mele 'Ai Pōhaku." The 'ea (melody) has been changed to make it a kahiko with 4 additional lines composed at the end to capture the Aloha 'Āina theme of the Hawaiian Club. Mele by Ellen Keho'ohiwaokalani Wright Prendergast and choreography/last 4 lines of chant by Kale Kau'i.

Dancers: Kale Kau'i (gray shirt) and Mark Uluhani Serrao (blue long sleeve shirt)
