Makana is an earth angel....a gift to the world....to me, his voice is reminiscent of John Denver, but more than that, his unusual and brilliant guitar playing and that exquisite voice takes me to a transcendent experience and when he shares his heart, it is truly divine! You are BIG, Makana and the world needs you.
Palpitations to my core, as always ... from your music and your message, ko'u hoaloha. Mahalo nui loa a me pomaika'i nui pau'ole. See you at The Kahala w/as many guests as possible!
Your words of wisdom have just reminded me why I love you so much. You music and angelic voice speak for themselves. Mahalo nui for sharing this video. . . and for sharing yourself
Funny how he uses filter delay, which makes the instrument sound doubled, to enforce his own supposed "natural" effect. Also, the blindfold? Who cares. i've been playing guitar for 9 years and i can play blindfolded too; it's just a showy thing.
Seriously? This is TED TALKS...not a concert. Go to his channel to hear his stuff. What I like most are his political views. And, as someone mentioned that 2nd song is killer!

...a talented performer-his story on the origins of slack key is the best explanation of the way Hawaiian "think" I have ever heard--Mahalo Makana.
Love you Makana, wise beyond your years. You're a mystic Man.

The Spirit, the Word and the Deed. It's all there inside each of us. Isn't it nice when someone this "Gifted" comes along and let's ours' out to play?

Makana, Guitars in the Classroom LOVES YOU!
So Kool great
Sending lots of aloha your way
What is the name of the second song?!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!
Lol. this guys great. I like the second song a lot 🌚🌝
What is the name of the last song he sings? Amazing expression of being Makana is!
He performs at the Kahala Hotel when in Hawaii
What is the name of the song played blindfolded?
I think it's a medley of multiple songs. I think I there's some of "Napo'o Ka La" in there.
This might sound strange to some, but there's some of Nick Drake's musicianship in this guy. What do you think?
Maybe even Luka Bloom & he's even inspired by ND.
Kevin Barry Moore is a pretender.
Neil Aspinall - Barry (luka Bloom) is a well established artist with many cds & a huge fan base. So then how is Barry (Luka Bloom) a pretender??
Open Mic night at TED?
Jus press brother aloha from maui no ka oi
Aole, Poho dis guy!
9 minutes he finaly fucks the fuck up and plays the guitar.
+johnebgood108 it's a talk show you moron

i met him. i think he is Hawaii's greatest musician.
Mark Wittkowski He's a racist
Mark Wittkowski And by that I mean he's a human who try's to find love in outrage.
+Jizz Fudgsickle That's not racism
See what happens when "its ok to be gay"
Die to all that, and then begin to live...that's what Jesus said. Better to tune in to God...just sayin...and stay away from Oahu.
