Den Livestream vom #MerrieMonarch Festival Contest aus Hilo, #Hawaii, zu schauen ist jedes Jahr ein Genuss. Fantastische #Hula Performances. Eben war die Männergruppe der Acadamy of Hawaiian Arts dran mit einem Kahiko (klassischer Hula), der das Kanufahren symbolisierte. Jede Bewegung bei Hula hat eine Bedeutung (z.B. Palme, Sonne, Wind). Jetzt Hālau Hi‘iakaināmakalehua (Hālau = Hulaschule).

“After 50 years of teaching hula, famed musician and Kumu Hula Robert Uluwehionāpuaikawēkiuokalani Cazimero will be taking his hālau to Hilo in April to compete for the eighth — and last time — in the #MerrieMonarch Festival.
…the kumu #hula’s longtime friend and Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award-winning musician Kuana Torres Kahele of Hilo said he knows this won’t be the last time the public will enjoy the talents of Cazimero and his kane.”
