Jonathan was a sweet soul. I never got to meet him but talked to him once via messenger. His rendition of this oli is the female vernacular which was a testament to his divine feminine spirit. Jonathan is ke ala hoku now..has been for a while. Im happy that this video is still here.

Aloha is this chant noa? if not who would I need permission from to use it?

[@ryy3134]

I think.. the oli lyrics written below are wrong.

[@thomasgausepohl4396]

Did you find out who you need permission from to use it by any chance?

[@Kaeoooo]

Thomas Gausepohl it’s a greeting oli. You don’t need permission usually.

I went to school with Jonathan. He always had a smile that would shine in school. I lost touch with him in high school as I transfered to another but where we came from, the Leeward side, we always see frenz hanging out at the beach or at the store. Rest in Aloha Jonathan and Mahalo for all your love ❤
