Aloha nō Kalākaua by Amy Hanaialiʻi Gilliom

higher quality version.....
King David Kalākaua brought Hula back to the Hawaiians. He is remembered for this, among many other things every year at the Merrie Monarch Hula Festival, held in Hilo, Hawaiʻi. You can watch it on streaming video on the Kitv channel 4 website April 3, 4, and 5th 2008, beginning at 6:00 Hawaiian standard time. http://www.kitv.com/index.html The two women at the end of the video were instrumental in the Hawaiian cultural revival that began in the 1970s. Mary Kawena Pukui and Maiki Aiu Lake.

This is so beautiful, and with Amy singing it is just even so much more touching. She is amazing, I fell in love with her voice the moment I heard it.

So very beautiful the music and the dance. Hula truly is the heartbeat of Hawaii and it's become my heartbeat, too. LOVING my hula dance lessons :)

What would the world be without the Hula? Glad the king brought it back.
