2015 Merrie Monarch Winners- Hula Kahiko (Wahine Division)

[@abignothing]

the fact that you can still clearly hear everything they sing is impressive, its no easy task to get that level of group synchronization with that many people. incredible!

[@Onlylotuus]

I’m Congolese 🇨🇩 but Hawaiian culture will forever be the most beautiful to me as it reminds me of the Congolese tribal dances/practices and absolute GOOSEBUMPS ! aloha a pau ❤️‍🩹.

[@lizzy8830]

I miss the full performances so much 😢

[@elifg.714]

Where can I find the full performances? They used to be on youtube but now they're deleted :/

[@princesskowhai]

I have been trying to find it too

[@sparkmate87]

Im sesrching too. I love the song. Can't remember the title.

[@numoherisson1656]

The Merrie Monarch festival regularly gets full performance videos taken down. I don't understand why they cut *their* uploads so drastically when DVD are no longer available for purchase. (Not that i can afford them anyway.)

[@numoherisson1656]

Someone in Japan has a full video uploaded, but... there's no sound. :( I don't know what kinds of legal stipulations are involved per the MM, but what they're doing with videos here is very frustrating. FWIW, i live on the mainland, 6 hours ahead of HST, with no way to record. I'm so glad for the livestream, but i can't stay up until 6:00 a.m. in order to see everything for 3 nights running.

[@deborahwinfield2514]

Yeah it's such a bummer to see how they've forced others to delete their videos but then don't even bother to put them up themselves. Like where's the logic? Even from a pure business standpoint they're not even selling DVDs of the events!!! Like come on guys! The culture is so beautiful. I enjoyed listening to the songs/chants and now some of them are just gone. Like gone gone. O lono e was a fave of mine and I can't find it anywhere. 🫤

Go to Polynesia..there is

[@00Montse00]

I have always thought that the cultures of the Polynesian territory are extremely interesting and artistically very beautiful or the cultures within the Pacific sea...they are magical✨🤌

[@kawaiicorn2132]

[@Geronimo122]

Awesome!

[@AlexDassy]

Там уже от Маури остались одни воспоминания. Треть лиц просто европейские. Может быть актёры, подобно нашим киношным цыганам?

[@sevenblessed2543]

[@stevenmullins7528]

Hula no ka oe.

[@brucebarthold5359]

Hula kahiko, for certain. It is so beautiful to watch and listen to.

[@iz6566]

Why are men allowed to shave or not shave their armpits for this event, but all women have to shave? So sexist.

[@alapaticornell4391]

Would u like to shave a cat or a bird? 🎉🎉🎉

[@pampelmouse]
