I live on Oahu but did not attend because the traffic to North Shore where the concert was being held was crazy. It was free to anyone who wanted to attend. You should come to Hawaii and vacation.
The service that was supposed to live stream the concert didnʻt come through, so the TV station reporters and cameramen had to improvise and try to record and stream the concert when they were only there to record some short clips of live interviews and parts of the performances for the news broadcast, so they werenʻt set up or prepared for a live stream of the whole concert. This is one of the better videos of Iam performing. It was a great night and you could feel the love and aloha from the audience and everyone on stage.

Iʻm an English as a second language teacher in Hawaiʻi who has lived in Japan, taught many subjects related to history and cultures in the Pacific Rim (Asia, Pacific Islands, & the U.S.) and has a passion for traditional Hawaiian music and am somewhat of a foodie, so I can make some recommendations for videos on some topics related to Hawaiʻi, but youʻre starting off with too broad a request. There are literally thousands of videos for each topic about Hawaiʻi, the people and languages, customs & traditions, food, etc., etc. Maybe if you want to narrow it down to information and advice for a visitor (tourist) who is coming to Hawaiʻi for a few days or a week or so and want to know where to go and what to eat, we can start there. If you want to get more into the history (especially political history), traditions and language of Native Hawaiians, the diversity of the other ethnicities and cultures, social attitudes, attitudes concerning climate, nature, and the environment, etc., it will take a lot more study and possibly getting to know and interacting with some people from Hawaiʻi, even if itʻs just online. One of the many wonderful things Iam has done for the world is to bridge generations and fans of different genres of music, and he is making people more aware of the music, artists, and cultures in Hawaiʻi (Remember Iam is NOT Hawaiian, though he was born and raised in Hawaiʻi and is considered LOCAL. He is of Tongan, Samoan, and Irish descent.) One problem I have with videos for travelers or those interested in history that are made by people who are not Hawaiian or Local is their inaccurate or frankly horrible pronunciation of Hawaiian words or things that are commonly referred to in languages like Japanese or Chinese. They might have some good advice and experiences, but I donʻt want to perpetuate the bad pronunciation. I just did a quick search for some videos for first-time visitors to Oʻahu, and this one wasnʻt too bad (with just few mispronunciations) even though the creators have only lived in Hawaiʻi for a year. They also did a video on the best places to go. This is just a starting point. Youʻll get lots of recommendations in your TH-cam feed if you like this one.

A lei is a necklace of flowers. We usually give to show love and/or how proud we are of someone's accomplishments.. Especially during graduations..
He draped in lei. Stings of flowers. Gesture of love and aloha.
Like it was mentioned, it’s a tradition in Hawaii to give a lei for special occasions or when you greet a friend.
Lei or ula is a symbol of love ,honor , celebration, friendship and greeting in our culture.
Did you know that Bruno Mars is from Hawaiʻi? And Jason Momoa, Bette Midler, Jack Johnson, and probably most famous of all, Barack Obama!
