  • Brother! My family is from Maui too. The "Puha" is from Olowalu, Lahaina and the "Aikau" are from Hāmoa beyond Hāna.

    I knew we had a special "pili!"

    Brother, your music is a treasure. The ancestors are with you. I bet you move the kupuna to tears too when they hear you sing and play--that's a sign!

    Hope to meet you someday and give you a Liko-sized hug and maybe some bigboy hula to your singing.

    Aloha nō,

    Liko

  • I have few kupuna to play music with anymore, but nā mele still feeds the soul. Mahalo for keeping the olelo alive. I hope to take one of your oli classes at AMC someday.

  • Mahalo a nui e Jesse! E hoʻomau ʻoe i ka hīmeni ʻana mai i nā mele o ko kākou mau kūpuna!

  • Mahalo, Braddah Liko! Your comments are treasured.

    My family's roots are murky, but I think my grandfather grew up on the north shore of Maui so the songs from there are special to me.
