KAPI`OLANI, Legacy Hula, vol. 2
Kulia I Ka Punawai
Queen Kapi´olani was the wife of Hawai´i’s “Merrie Monarch,EKing David Kalakaua. Composed in sets and published in 19th-century Hawaiian-language newspapers, these mele express distinct tributes from her relatives and close friends. Woven into a poetic tapestry of aloha for Queen Kapi´olani, each individual mele is like a flower whose beauty is multiplied when combined together into a lei. This unique recording presents 17 historical hula chants in contemporary hula kahiko settings by award-winning kumu hula. Full texts and translations are included. This project is curated by respected hula scholar Dr. Amy Ku´uleialoha Stillman.
