Hi'ilawe

[@genelabrie6770]

I had the honor and privilege of playing Bass for Cyril. Jeff, and Peter at the "Outrigger Bar" in Waikiki while on vacation. Such beautiful music. A memory I will always treasure. I pray Cyril's health improves. God Bless. Gene.

[@amegaechexisexis7506]

I love this song .. volverémos a Hawaii, conocer y estar ahí, fue una experiencia maravillosa para nuestras almas♥️

[@gbieg]

These Gentlemen are the best, the essence of Hawaii, We have seen them three times now. No visit to Oahu will ever be complete without seein them... Mahalo Cyril, we may see you in September.

[@cyrilpahinui]

First public appearance of Peter Wook Moon with Cyril Pahinui. I love that boy and so proud to have him still with me now 7 years later along with Jeff Au Hoy…. Kani Pu Kolu

[@genelabrie6770]

Hi Cyril! So sorry you were not at the "Outrigger Bar" on our last visit to Waikiki. I was looking forward to playing Bass with you Jeff and Peter again. We pray your health improves.God Bless. Regards, Gene LaBrie.

Aloha kaua, this is one of my favourites by Kupuna Cyril Pahinui, thank you so much for posting this. It is so beautiful.

[@GoJoeMoeGo]

Good medicine. Mahalo for posting. Simple. Soulful. Beautiful. Real. Just like home...

[@Anelaokalani1]

Such a beautiful rendition of Hi'ilawe!! sure sounds so much like his father, Gabby! The true hawaiian style of singing, brings chills down my spine and butterflies in my opu!! LOVELY!!

[@UkeGirl100]

Positively beautiful. I grew up in Waimanalo. Now I live in California. Gabby was my dad's favorite musician. He used to sing this song, and others like it, with his best imitation of Gabby. This recording really brings me home. Thank you.

[@sistersuetube]

Thank you for posting. I went to see the Descendants despite the fact that I don't much like George Cloony and have never been to Hawaii. Wonderful film and GREAT MUSIC. Now I want to go. Mahalo!

[@osculus]

Cyril sounds SO much like his father - ol' Gabby must smile with love every time someone watches this video. What a great ohana legacy!

[@kaipoalohaha]

My Father's FAVORITE! Mahalo for posting.

[@kiaweking]

Amazing how much beautiful sound can be produced by two wooden boxes. I love this classic mele.

[@markshelby2141]

This is like a Worship Service every time Gabby sings! Awesome good old time memories for me!

[@jeffpeters6023]

love this falsetto singing. Like to train my voice this wonderful sining. My father went to Hawaii to restore after the bombing and he listened to Hawaii Calls here at home.

[@kalebeyond8579]

Love this song, mahalo nui loa 🎶🎤🎸

[@deblas722]

Forgive me for being naive to island music as I dont have much knowledge of it. However, this song was just played at the end of the most recent episode of Hawai'i Five-O and its shear beauty made me search it out. Can anyone tell me what the lyrics mean or the overall meaning of the song. Thank you

[@caligurlof1984]

[@LenaRiess]

heart touching!

Wow, Sweet and Beautiful....... Aloha and mahalo.... It's all good,,,Yeah Kick off and Play... Jm....

[@pv321]

Lovely song, beautifully played. Can anyone tell me the guitar tuning please - I know it's slack key, but there seem to be a few variations of that. Thanks.

[@rasputinsghost]

simply perfect

[@djkamakaflower]

Uncle usually plays in C tuning :) It's on his license plate.

[@HEADSUPBERKELEY]

he is my favorite so great AKIMAY! Aloha Bb

[@Kailoa36]

Maikai maoli nō kēlā! O Cyril Pahinui no ka oi.

[@spikeykahuna]

how the hell can he play that AND sing at the same time/ I can do neither. Amazing.

[@jantonisito]

Lovely rendition. Interesting that they both use thumb picks.

[@kfwahine]

For the Lyrics and translation go to Huapala and put in the name of the song: Hi'ilawe.

[@Paniolodave]

Classic!!

[@sinforosojacobe2985]

Hawaiian

[@slackkey808]

Why you guys calling him "the boy." His name is Peter Moon Jr. as it states in the info. Also he is far from a beginner as I've seen what he can do and even Ozzie Kotani says he has some serious skills.

[@brionbee]

thank you...

[@IdlyVada]

The Descendants.....:-))

[@djkamakaflower]

I KNOW RIGHT!

[@jeffpeters6023]

Please my typing errors. Need to learn that as well.

[@hawaiiansiva7]

[@Kailoa36]

Laki no `oe!

[@slackkey808]

[@ianufton419]

Terrific rendition --- but the uke is out of tune

[@genelabrie6770]

Better Have Your Ears Checked!
