AHA - Academy of Hawaiian Arts based in Oakland, CA under the direction of Kumu Mark Kealiʻi Hoʻomalu --- 2016 Hoʻike November 2016 at Chabot College, Hayward, CA
In the ads on Discovery Channel for Shark Week, I see the Rock and behind him I hear Kumu Mark chanting and pa'a'ing on his ipu heke. My nervous system is tuned to pay attention any time I hear him. 7/24/22 Oakland CA
What a fantastic performance! Loved watching so many ages in full participation of this cultural dance style. Loved seeing men and women dancing the same steps. I find is so interesting that steps performed by a female can look so sensual. When performed by a man, the same steps become a show of masculine strength. Thank you for posting this enjoyable video. Much appreciated!
Wonderful performance by all, especially the young ones as it takes a lot of discipline at that age to stand up in front of a group of adults and perform. God bless you all keep spreading your culture and heritage.
The missionaries came back?? I'm not a fan of the blue and gold/white pouffy fabric "skirts" either, but they do make visual impact. The solid white skirts with the single stripe are nice, so no complaints.
Their voices are always very clear and strong. Love it.
Whenever I see the words, "Academy of Hawaiian Arts," I stop and watch the video because I'll get to hear Kumu Mark.
One of the best voices anywhere on the continent, in any musical genre.
