Hawaiian Hula Song w/Steel Guitar - Ana Lani & Ray Kinney

Hawaiian Hula Song, a classic.

A seductive beauty does the hula while a duo play on guitar and slide.




During the last third of the song, the rhythm picks up, becoming swingy.

Where Hawaiian traditional and American Jazz meet, practically western swing.

@helasmile Get over it. It's an old time movie. They are NEVER correct. Im surprised your not complaining about the music being played by Haole's too.

[helasmile]

this is so disrespectful to our family unreal how people think they can just move their hips and hands and think its hula

[kdegru]

The beginning credits are missing and I was wondering if anyone knows if this might be a soundie film for the coin operated soundie jukebox machines that gave me sound and picture?

[ChrisPFlorida1]

You have to imagine, this was done pretty quickly on a sound stage, probably in line with a dozen other shorties that were being filmed that day...I don't think they were going for authenticity, I think they were going for "Get that check and put her in a grass skirt and tell her to dance". I can just see the director yelling "more hands! more hands!" LOL. Still a cute clip and a decent song from the era.

I know it's not genuine, but, it's entertaining.

Why do people think they can just "copy" or "do any type of hula-ish" dance and call it hula? This is crap, even the tune is off key and this is a part of the "western mystic" of what Hawaii was. THATs NOT HULA! It doesnt even touch the "Hawaii Calls" program. Its a woman with a meandering hand who's dancing gibberish! This is just as bad as Al Jolson protraying black performers....its fake and "their" idea of what they think of us.

This is so corny. Certainly NOT Barney Isaacs ! The 'hula gal' is supposed to 'tell the story with her hands' ... I have no idea what her story could possibly be ! I suspect the whole thing was done in the U.K.

[kimonui]

this is not Hawaiian. And the haole girl is sure as heck ain;t doing anything close to the hula. It is fake. for haole consumption only.
