Aulani’s Olelo Room: A Night of Food & Music

[@ericprado7832]

I live on Maui and because of your videos will be going to Aulani for the very first time next month for a couple of nights. I can’t wait!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I hope you have so much fun and got a good locals deal!

[@ericprado7832]

I got a great locals deal! Thank you for all the videos you create.

Mahalo for sharing your adventures! Even though I've lived in Hawaii all my life, I still love to watch people try out experiences here. You two have a positivity that is infectious - will be watching more of your stuff.

Thanks so ouch Shawnee

Omg. You got to see Jerry Santos (musician). He is a legend.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We had no idea he was a Hawaiian legend. So cool. He was so good.

[@hawaiiguy1]

@@OrdinaryAdventures he IS ! That song Jerry started to sing at 16:05 --- he wrote and sang back in 1970s called: Ku'u Home O Kahaluu - he wrote that song when he was living on the mainland and missed living in Hawaii and wanting to return to Hawaii.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnqTmZ6arrpkqrs

I could listen to the beautiful music all night. My best friend used to teach Hawaiian dance and had a small Troup and they performed for seniors in nursing homes. I did a little dancing with them 😊🌺 This video brought me some nice memories.

[@wdwnutjm]

Another great video!!! On our first trip, we had the most magical night at the Olelo room- they had a band who turned out to have a very famous Hawaiian musician (Kawika Kahiapo), playing beautiful music. It was the most beautiful evening under the stars that we have kept in our hearts since that day.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

How magical ❤️🌺

Your first attempt at popoki was right on Kitra! So just a little background since I commented before, the musician who shaka'd at you is Kamuela Kimokeo, and he's a music teacher at University if Hawaii. The older gentleman is Jerry Santos and he's a well known recording artist here, has had multiple albums released on his own and with his group 'Olomana since the 70's :)

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Oh that’s awesome. Had no idea he was a big music star in Hawaii

[@jasminerivers1305]

Wow, that dinner music was dreamy

[@crispychip5690]

Yes. Another delicious, informative and relaxing video. I love that your content is varied, always positive and entertaining. Thank you.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thank you for the compliment

[@wickedjourney]

I think Kitra is lucky that Peter is wearing glasses 'cause sometimes I think Peter's eyes might pop out of his head when he tastes something really good and accidentally hit Kitra! Also love how Peter, on a whim, decides to change the rating system. 4/4 Peters! The mistakes and the claims of "We don't know what we are doing" is what keeps me coming back to watch Ordinary Adventures! You guys are great and the content is exceptional! Thanks for inviting us on your adventures!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Haha 😳

[@hal763]

I hope the two of you got to hear Jerry Santos sing Ku'u Home O Kahalu'u that night. It's his most famous song and is so beautiful with his haunting voice and the picking on the acoustic guitar tracks.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I think we did!

[@EricA-zz7uz]

[@annaburch3200]

Awe! That was so relaxing! The music is wonderful. Now, our 16 yo son asks daily, "is there a new Hawaii Ordinary Adventures?" We had to wait until after online school and work was done tonight, so we could all watch together and reminisce over our own time in Hawaii. THANK YOU!! We really enjoy you guys! ❤️

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I enjoyed this one brought me and my wife back to our honeymoon! We sat outside and had drinks and it was very peaceful. We also really enjoyed the little shopping center across the street with the ABC store. We would get poke and spam masubi!

So happy to know that you enjoyed The ʻŌlelo Room and got to see Jerry Santos perform!! Spending an evening with drinks and yummies listening to live Hawaiian music is one of our favorite things to do at Aulani. Like you said, night time at Aulani is sooo beautiful and magical! p.s. The tiki torches around the resort depict kukui nuts (aka candle nuts) skewered on sticks and lit (using the nuts’ natural oils) to provide light - a great tribute to traditional Hawaiian culture! 🌺

We didn’t realize he was a Hawaiian music legend. So cool we got to listen to him play, he was great. Oh and that’s a cool detail about the tiki torches

You guys are great; what aspects of Aulani would you want incorporated into Disneyland/Disney World?

Oh this is a great question. My first thought it more lazy rivers as part of hotel resorts. Shave ice should be a thing at the Polynesian or animal kingdom. I’d love more hidden adventures like the hidden menehune or the adventure trail.

[@Kap00rwith2os]

Omg I really wanna try those fries 🍟 😍 🤤 So ya Hawaiian words are pretty simple, you pronounce all the vowels and consonants (for example no silent "e" or trickery like that 😁), what you see is what you get. Fun fact: Hawai'i is the only State in the US to have a city whose name is made up completely of vowels: "Aiea" 😊

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

That’s a cool bit of trivia

[@desiraetaulbee]

You're right that does mean the color!

[@shantoreywilkins651]

[@AgentCooper42]

Very pretty at night!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Agreed 😍

[@mralohainjapan]

Aloha, Peter and Kitra! So glad you enjoyed Hawaii. The Hawaiian language is very easy to pronounce, because the vowels only have one sound, so it's exactly like Spanish vowels. So Ukulele is not you-kah-lay-lee, but just ooo-koo-lay-lay. 'Olelo means "language, words," so the bar was created around the three of teaching the Hawaiian language to visitors. In the past, the staff and bartenders would give you a quick lesson to help you pronounce the words and understand the significance of the spoken word in Hawaiian culture, but I'm guessing that COVID has caused staff reductions and social distancing requirements that prevent them from doing that right now. And glad you liked those fries... in Hawaii, we love to put mochi crunch and furikake on our popcorn at the movie theaters, so that's a take on that (even elevated to greater goodness). Always love your videos, and looking forward to more of your adventures!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks so much. I wish we had looked up the meaning of Olelo before we went there haha

[@konradkuewa4182]

So in the Hawaiian language, the vowels are pronounced ah,eh,ee,oh,oo (a,e,i,o,u). So to say iole (mouse), it's pronounced ee-oh-lay. To say menehune, it's pronounced meh-neh-hoo-neh. To say popoki (cat), poh-poh-kee. Hope this helps. Aloha 🤙

Two odd thoughts watching this: 1) Peter's brows are more and more reminiscent of Groucho Marx (for younglings, search "You Bet Your Life" game show, or Night at the Opera) 2) Some of those songs are REALLY close to Nova Scotia folk music. I guess its ocean inspired?
