Andy,
What's a mele hula? Music for hula, not necessarily slack key? Will there be dancing?
Thanks for keeping us informed! |

In this case Mele Hula is the name of the group. My Hawaiian is zilch so I'm hesitant to attempt translation. Judging by the name, I would assume there would be hula.
You can read a little more at www.hapa.com. Their caption reads, "A Celebration of Hawaiian Song and Dance."
I quickly re-read your question. Barry Flanagan plays contemporary Hawaiian music but his playing does include some slack key. |

Clarification regarding the term Mele Hula".
The original tour was last year or so -- featuring some mele (song) and some hula. The promoter hit upon the term "Mele Hula" as a descriptive title for all the shows.
These three upcoming appearances will feature the same combination of mele and hula -- with the mele being provided by musicians who are each standouts, individually (they are not a group).
Should be great fun!
