  • I love the fact that they use the same hula ka`i and hula ho`i for each competition. It demonstrates the kumu's strong sense of tradition, establishment of foundation, and pride in his own style. When you see Ke Kai O Kahiki's hula ka`i and ho`i, you know that it's uniquely them - powerful and masculine. The kumu doesn't need to search for the magic combination...he knows exactly what works, and he goes with it! Akamai no ho`i! And when they perform their choice mele, they kick butt!

  • luv it

  • love it!!! i super love how at 2:16 they form a heart!!! great performance!! i could watch all day long!!

  • @ainohea. Yes! I totally agree. Thanks for posting your comment. I am Maori from Aotearoa. Please does Kahiko mean 'old'? If I am translating right kahiko is tawhito in our language meaning an old or traditional piece? Kane is tane meaning men. I think this is just beautiful. Strong, polished, disciplined. This only comes from suberb leadership. Patuki taku manawa!

  • @rhniraq it's call tradition....much like everyone else that does: Ho'opuka e ka la....duh! most halau would barely make it through Puka Mai....and would kill over dancing their competition chant after it....lol!!!
