This beautiful mele danced by my cousin Kawaikapu Hewett who is so graceful and filled with so much aloha for his culture. Dancing at Kaaawa Loa (Kualoa Ranch) and then at Kahana Bay which was our ohana's property from 850 years ago.Frank Kawaikapuokalani Hewett, also known as Lehua, is a Hawaiian hula dancer, teacher, and composer who has dedicated his life to sharing Hawaiian culture: So u'i is his presence.
The song talks bout the pain of losing a loved one. Although It hurts that they are away, would you rather erase the memories of your deceased love to take the pain away or cherish the memories with the pain. "Na ka hāliʻaliʻa e hoʻopumehana i ka pō mehameha ipoʻole" = The loving memories bring me warmth on lonely nights without you😪
Always thankful that he taught us to dance to his beautiful mele during EWE O KA HULA Europe 2014 in Budapest! Love this music, the talkstories, the movements of the body, mind and spirit.
I am sadly not Hawaiian, but this draws me into your beautiful language and dancing. I don[' understand the words, but they seem to speak for themselves ... so gentle and loving.

So beautiful. Right now I have no word to describe such a beautiful song performed by such a great hula dancer and kumu.

As usual, you are smiled upon by Iolani Luahine, our KUMU! Mahalo for your very special creation! Healani Kuulei
Beautiful dance, as is the dancer. I swear I see Iolani Huahine in spirit.
Credit should also be given to Sean Na'auao for singing this beautiful mele with the hula and setting that make this performance moving and magical.
