And also tonight... What is the name of the Hapa tune that continually builds with EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK...including banjo, fiddle, a percussion drum (Native?) and blues harp? I've bought 2 HAPA CD'S and didn't find it on those... I was given a (paid for) download of this tune, but with no cover info. Words something like:
He no him no He ke apu (syllabic approximation) ...nui ke aloha ...yada yada yada (approximate East Coast interpretation!)
Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai is the one where the banjo and harmoica are used. Seems to be a favorite of a lot of dancers. Fun to dance. Fun to play. Fun to sing.
He ho’oheno ke ‘ike aku Ke kai moana nui la Nui ke aloha e hi'ipoi nei Me ke 'ala o ka lipoa
He lipoa i pae i ke one Ke one hinuhinu la Wela i ka la ke hehi a'e Mai mana'o he pono keia
Ho'okohukohu e ka limu kohu Ke kau i luna o na moku la 'O ia moku 'ula la e ho 'Oni ana ia o i 'anei
Ha'ina mai ka puana Ka lipoa me ka limu kohu Hoapili 'oe me ka pahe'e 'Anoni me ka lipalu
nice to meet you Gordon. next time I will bring banjo and guitar
and while I'm visiting with myself--It's pg 2-7 in our Maui 2004 Hymnal/Ki Ho Alu songbook! (With a translation)...but I didn't know where to look until ya'll put me on track. So additional thanks again to donley, Andy and Ed B. too.
