Project KULEANA Nā Moʻo o Koʻolaupoko presents “Kuʻu Home O Kahaluʻu”

- In 2018, Project KULEANA set out with native Hawaiian youth to explore KULEANA through the music, people and history of the places that they call home.
Kuʻu Home ʻO Kahaluʻu by Jerry Santos eloquently captures the feelings, fears and dreams of a small town country boy. Yet, this song has become a song of hope for all of us who must come face to face with the inevitable changes of themselves and the place that they call home. - เพลง

Missing home. Kane'ohe boy whose so far away from home, trying to make a life in Washington State... but home, my islands, I miss you.
Home is where the heart is.
Where in Washington? We're in Spokane
I visited Hawaii for a two week vacation , I stayed for six years, I've been homesick ever since I came back to the mainland twenty two years ago
Takes me back to our days in Wong’s Village. Hygenic store. Chinaman’s Hat. Ku’uloa Beach Park. ❤️ Ku’u Home o Kahalu’u
I'm from Kahalu'u and stuck on the mainland for now. I cry every time I hear this song 😢
Brings tears to my eyes. Never forget Hawaiians, we are nothing without our Aina.
I remember days when we were younger
We used to catch 'o'opu in the mountain stream
'Round the Ko'olau hills we'd ride on horseback
So long ago it seems it was a dream
Last night I dreamt I was returning
And my heart called out to you
But I fear you won't be like I left you
Me kealoha ku'u home o Kahaluu
I remember days when we were wiser
When our world was small enough for dreams
And you have lingered there my sister
And I no longer can it seems
Last night I dreamt I was returning
And my heart called out to you
But I fear you won't be like I left you
Me kealoha ku'u home o Kahaluu
Change is a strange thing
It cannot be denied
It can help you find yourself
Or make you lose your pride
Move with it slowly
As on the road we go
Please do not hold on to me
We all must go alone
I remember days when we were smiling
When we laughed and sang the whole night long
And I will greet you as I find you
With the sharing of a brand new song
Last night I dreamt I was returning
And my heart called out to you
To please accept me as you'll find me
Me kealoha ku'u home o Kahaluu
It's nice seeing people keeping our culture alive.
Hawaiian will live on forever 💪🏽❤🤙🏽no matter what our people went thru we stand strong as one! Rise up kanaka Maoli 🙌
It is an honor to say I’ve played this mele with Uncle Jerry and this song was my childhood and one of the best songs ever written
Mahalo jake.
I miss Hawaii... as soon as this covid is over I am flying to...
This is the first time Iʻve watch this video and it was very good to see relatives singing about the good olʻdays and how weʻll remember growing up at our homes in Kahaluʻu.
people dislike this, are people what have no or do not know what TRADITION is like, i am from a small village in the alps, TIROL, we also preserve traditions what goes back hundreds of years, i just can say keep up with what you are doing guys,
i visited hawai and i love it
I loved Kahaluu!!! In the mornings I would push my baby Amber's stroller to the Buddhist Temple, at Valley of the Temples, where we lived. There was a wonderful fish pond there. The monks sometimes would come out to admire my beautiful blonde haired blue eyed baby, so rare in Hawaii.
I am Kahalu'u born and raised. Been living in Hilo for awhile now, but Kahalu'u will ALWAYS be home for me. This brought tears of joy but also sadness and heartache from my childhood and the Kahalu'u I grew up in. "Change is the strangest thing, it cannot be denied". Ku'u Home O Kahalu'u!!
My dad was invited to teach math at Kailua High, in 1968, so we moved from Seattle to Kaneohe, because we couldn't find a house in Kailua at that time. What an amazing experience! My father bought some land in Kahalu'u the next year and built a home, with our help, (and contractor). Then my father, a beautiful soul, was hit by a car as he walked down the sidewalk into Kailua after teaching, one day. That ended our paradise, and the rest of us moved back to the Mainland. But I couldn't believe how friendly the people are over there, even though they had their land taken away. I suppose that it was bound to happen, as they couldn't hide forever. The Hawaiians knew that it couldn't last forever. At least the advances in technology made their lives more comfortable in some ways. But I know that they would trade those in a minute for the old ways.
This song makes my heart long for home. Just wow
I've been away from Hawaii for 5 years now. These videos, set in the most beautiful locations, with current artists singing and playing the timeless classics...is so refreshing and reminds me so much of home. Mahalo to all who are involved with this project.
Oh my heart breaks most of it in in Hawai'i no ka oi Maui.. me ke aloha ku'u home o Maui
Hawaaii Aloha!
Mahalo for this beautiful peace of Music and your culture.
Please preserve this beautiful language.
Greetings from Germany!
Food for my Soul!!!
Loved this one. Just one thing - thank you.
I Miss my stomping grounds of Kahaluu. Lovely colaboration of a musical classic. Aloha from Las Vegas
This brings me home always
This is AWESOME! Oh, it tugs my heart strings!
My Lord. Can it get more beautiful. I say no🌺🎶
Aloha.~
Beautiful 😻
Thank you so much.
You have a great wonderful day ❤
내고향 하와이 🌺 어제나 그러워요.~~~
I love 💕 Hawaii.~~~
It’s expensive and crowded but best choice I ever made was to move back home to Hawaii...awesome version of this beautiful song!!!
Funny how I just got this in my feed. Beautiful rendition of my "anthem" for small kid time, when I lived up the valley from Jerry and the Hygienic Store. Rode my white horse down to the store where Jerry was often hanging out. Beautiful valley except for the mold that grew on our low ceilings. Memories of cleaning it with ammonia. But riding horse all over into mysterious remains of human habitation and verdant overgrowth over streams. Red dirt and centipedes. The Pekin nightingales and pueo. Beauty and life.
Did you know, Cathy Fink? My oldest sista
Aloha Aunty! I didn’t see your comment until now, Aug 2021. Was listening to Uncle Jerry and cruising. Love you Aunty \m/ Kale Boy
Ua pā ka naʻau. Mahalo iā ʻoukou e nā moʻo o Koʻolaupoko a me ko ka hui Project Kuleana.

A song for this lockdown,to feel hope and strenght again
It's nice to see adults and children singing together. Lovely💜
My family is so blessed as we were baptized in the Holy Spirit by the late Kahu George Naipo. Back in the mid 90’s we would travel to his church Ekalesia from Ewa Beach every Sunday where we became born again. At his side was his son Danny Naipo and Kelly boy as they were Deacons of his church. It was in is Glory (God) and an honor to have been a part of his congregation. Aloha oe Kahu. I know you are in his kingdom smiling down on us all. Till we meet again.....soon we’ll be “Going home”.
Aloha ... I can tell you that he is. George Naipo was my grand uncle, my grandmother's brother. I miss them both dearly but I am glad that (even though you didn't really have to travel THAT far) you were able to interact and be with my Uncle Kanoe and the rest of my ohana.
Such sweet memories. Luv you Uncle Jerry. Miss you Uncle Robert.

You made a great classic even better, mahalo for your great work
Estoy rendido a la belleza de la música hawaiana y, aunque no lo entiendo, a la dulce belleza de su idioma.
Hawaii Aloha!
Mahalo for the amazing music!
Damn I just ran into kelly and Leo at my job today, didn’t even make the connection at the time. Wish I could’ve thanked em, the shots of them singing with the whole family are powerful
Mahalo to all of the wonderful artists who contributed to this classic and meaningful mele! I continue to watch and listen to this because it is a very needed message and sentiment on island as well as around the world. I struggle to understand why this mele and others like it are not more popular and on international charts. Please accept my love for your work and everyone should hear this.
I love this.
Aloha mahalo nui for sharing this wonderful waiata outlining the struggles you must never forget your language you customs and the love of the land love your music UK

Life goes on...Like it or not. We can only celebrate the Here and the Now. To do what we can to preserve what we can. Holding tight to our Hawai'ian roots...Hawai'ian heritage...Hawai'ian Culture. Remembering...we are dealing with people that love $$$$ more than the Island way of Life. 😐
