If you yearn to know more about Hawaiian music, this 8-CD series is a treasure. Each CD was a TV show, broadcast throughout the islands for a few years. Each show focused on just one song -- with great commentary from the often-kolohe Ekela Kaniaupio-Crozier, and one guest musician. One hour about one song...plus great stories about the song, the island about which it sings, the composer, etc. The whole set can be ordered online:

And the songbook is available for free download from their site.
This is one of those "treasures" for true fans of Hawaiian music. Enjoy!

Ekela Kaniaupio-Crozier had a TV show which I think is archived online somewhere. This Nahenahe series was an audio program that was broadcast, I think, on KINE radio. The concept is to teach a song representing a different island and to feature a guest musician/artist in each show.
As a live broadcast, the shows were not scripted so they're kind of a blend of talk show and Hawaiian lesson. Ekela is a good teacher and funny too. |

Ekela actually had two different shows -- the one for which I gave the link, plus an excellent (IMHO) Hawaiian language course entitled "Kulaiwi".
The audio for "Kulaiwi" (and a downloadable curriculum) is also available (free!) online:

She's an outstanding instructor, with a very quick wit and _great_ sense of humor!  |

What a small world, I got a copy of the "Nahenahe Seris 1" from a friend at kamehameha school, and Ekela is my next door neighbor, she just moved in about 4 months ago, her home now..... is Maui. ( pekelo from hana is on it.)

Aloha e Kevin -- please tell `Ekela that I'm a huuuuge fan (she's so kolohe!).
I emailed the director of the KS Distance Learning Program to ask if I could play their series on my radio show. He very kindly responded that their broadcast rights were shared with an O`ahu TV station, so no go. 
But...he said KS is in the process of creating a new (similar) program, and he'd very much like to keep KKCR (and I'm assuming, other island radio stations, too) in the loop. Yay!
How wonderful that the Nahenahe Series #1 can now be heard online, for free. |

E Auntie
I listened to the Nahenahe series over the internet when it first came out, and later, after they made the CDs available, I emailed to ask if there were any plans for a second Nahenahe program (their request for feedback seemed to imply that it would help such a thing come about). However, that was quite a while ago and I never heard back from them. Was KS talkng to you about another Nahenahe series, or another Kulaiwi series?
I really enjoyed the series, however, I think I learned more from it about the food of Hawai`i than the music of Hawai`i!
