"Koali" is a village in Hana. Our version of the song is based on an arrangement by Pekelo.
Kawili was the opening act at the 8th annual 'O Ka'ahumanu Wahine Ali'i Ahahui Ho'olaule'a. Shaun mapped out a set of Maui songs, with a special focus on Hana, the home of Queen Ka`ahumanu.
It is a magnificent song for which Pekelo and his `ohana are well known, but the song is much older than that, long time ago, shortly after overthrow of the Queen. You guys did a magnificent job on it.
Me ke aloha,
