[@CinemaDoll137]

As someone who has sung on choir for her entire life, the smooth layering of their deep rich voices is absolutely beautiful and so pleasant for the ears

[@gopidevi-meditacionytransm3142]

I wonder how they do it . Hawaiian music is so special .

[@lesliebegany1883]

Having no understanding of the language somehow doesn’t influence the impact that performance has on me. It brings tears to my eyes.

[@MsShellectable]

The strength and beauty of this performance is universal, and no explanation is needed.

[@chengblair8473]

ME TOO!!!

[@noelanideguilmo521]

This performace is about the Hawaiian goddess Lono, lono was a god of peace he was the god that was honored during makahiki season, a season of rest . Then their was the Hawaiian war god Kukaʻilimoku, he was the season of war and labor

[@lv143582]

I identify with your comment. Here I am whipping.

[@sepulchrums]

What a wonderful thing to be watching at 1 a.m., even though I don’t know the language this gave me the chills and I was totally emerged. Beautiful.

[@lailani2125]

Its hawaiian

[@TennisYussef]

[@lilyraimey3499]

Hawaiian is a critically endangered language so may as well help keep it alive by learning a little.

[@scarlett-rosejackson8790]

Lily Raimey do you know any Hawaiian?

2019 Festival Winners - Hula Hālau O Kamuela - I was honored to be apart of their journey this year - We entered two of my original songs -

[@ripple1967]

are the translation and meaning published anywhere?

[@dorotheam.2239]

@@ripple1967 www.halaumohalailima.com/HMI/Hoopuka_e_ka_La.html I found this in the comment section, i believe the Hula & Mele are about the god Lono.

[@lilicafq7826]

Sou brasileira. Amo suas músicas, algumas delas uso na massagem Lomi Lomi que faço em minha clientes. Linda voz. Te desejo todo sucesso. Gratidão 🙏

[@cochin808hawaii3]

Been watching the Merrie Monarch since I was a little girl. You can feel the mana from the ancestors. I’m so proud that I’m from Hawai’i Ne.... Always in my Heart 💜

[@locoHAWAIIANkane]

How can anyone NOT like this performance?! They performed AND THEN SOME! Haters gonna hate

[@empressah888]

Kalei K the button does get hit by accident! Especially if young children are around or people watching on phones, and the more views equal the more times it happens. Look for the good and positives and they’ll come your way💚

[@locoHAWAIIANkane]

Empressah - I hear you but.....182 times?!

[@MRuby-qb9bd]

Wait a minute--they are singing, dancing, playing their own percussion... meanwhile i am over here struggling to pat my head and rub my tummy at the same time 😂😂😂 Mad respect for these ladies.

[@PureAloha78]

M. Ruby same here. I could never do what they do. Hula is a very hard dance to master. Mad respect to these ladies.

[@MRuby-qb9bd]

@@PureAloha78 They certainly a joy to watch though!!!

[@Mecca4BA]

PureAloha78 yes... and the men are MUCH harder. They trained not far from where I lived when I was stationed in Hawaii. To this day, I wish I’d given it a try.

[@alaizallaneta2528]

😅

[@river4462]

It is a gift something profound and can not be an explanation for🥲🥰☮️🌟💖🤙🏽🏝💜

[@justiniantbh]

This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen! I can't stop watching it. It's so beautiful and mesmerizing; I could watch it all day! It's crazy how easy they make it look. Getting low to the ground and back up while still having their voices ring clear? They're so strong!

[@justiniantbh]

Does anyone know what they're saying at the beginning?

[@Mettimasurbeqsu]

I’ve been watching these and think it’s absolutely WONDERFUL they have the late queens picture in frame. To have her there for the living and breathing practices of her people that she caught so hard not to lose to the white man. ❤️

[@mintz276]

Oh my god, the sync in the dance. So mesmerizing. They did an amazing job!

[@patriciaspell2569]

So glad that they were able to hold on to the culture and not have it stomped out over the years.

[@river4462]

This is not just hula but something much deeper as the history and pride of Hawai'i comes alive. Oh so much they give💖🤙🏽🏝

[@kennoseworthy973]

A beautiful example of ‘ili’ili hula. I like the slow tempo of the mele , accented by the clicking of the stones. The dancers are extraordinary.

[@flyingpossum6958]

Absolutely love all the girls hair, you can really tell they have pride in everything they have so beautiful in display and dance so graceful.

[@Leipuanani]

Yes! I danced with Kumu Kunewa Mook and he was very strict with our hair. We had to let it grow out and not cut it ever. Then before competition, he would cut our hair all together so we had all the same exact length.

[@jodiinwi]

Wow!! Those girls have abs of steel! #fierce #chickenskin 💚

[@katalac]

So great and awesome!❤

[@pageachatter229]

When a group is in sync right from the start, you've got my attention and I'm watching to the very end. Spectacular job ladies. Bravo.

[@virginiaseward1709]

So beautiful. Brings back so many happy memories. Raised on the Island of Oahu. Even danced hula as a child and later taught it to my Girl Scouts.

[@mareerogers1114]

Breathtaking. Seeing this in person must be an amazing experience. I purchase the DVD to show my students. They become transfixed.

[@river4462]

This hula halau is just incredible. I so look forward to Merrie Monarch. A history lesson through hula and mele💖🤙🏽🏝💜🌈

[@hamzasr6501]

wow, ive never seen a performance where they truly embodied such genuine strength and power... absolutely incredible

[@TeamTenGroupie]

That was a truly moving performance and moved to tears with how beautiful it was and such a praise to our creator. Thank you!

[@alreyes1877]

Hula is dancing with a story...all different..so beautiful..

[@aseelaadossery3378]

I'm very happy these traditions are still alive , so beautiful and so pure 😢😘 Great performaning , techniques and timings

[@renaebruce-miller]

Thank you for uploading this it's been years since I saw my last Merry Monarch. It still has the same effect on me. May your ancestors never be forgotten.

[@caramelkisses8857]

My chills have chills! This is so beautiful I want to cry.

[@taimanekeahi627]

I wish they had showed all performances like this the full ones

[@troyhagen587]

ALOHA Take me back home to MAUI, Hana. GREAT Memories. Beautiful PEAPLE and FAMILY. LOVE IT. Mahalo.

[@river4462]

Yes

[@peachybabe8540]

What THE FUCK?! This is AWESOME??!!! They're perfectly in sync, down to the very last strand of hair!

[@javierperezgarcia8503]

Epic performance. In love with this culture. Best wishes from Spain!

[@river4462]

Four years ago and this hula halau still blows my mind

[@LivingTheSpoonieLife]

That was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

[@reneedavis718]

Loved everything, especially the part where they were in separate rows and each row chanted and danced a different part! Very talented and beautiful young women!! 🌸❤️🌸

[@mariaelenairizarry149]

❤💕😘💕💕 I don't understand the language but the dance so beautiful the culture of Hawaii. It's amazing I visit Hawaii. It is amazing the places we went to is breathtaking. It remind me back home Philippines ❤

[@kathrynt5899]

[@lealavaamalo4836]

Dancing on your knees takes a lot of discipline. AWRSOME.

[@Guardian_27911]

I'm from Ukraine and I like it!!!

[@jnomura1590]

Wow, mean da back bends!!! Awesome job ladies!

[@angie07kinp]

I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii was there for only a year my dad was in the Army so thats why I was there but till this day for some reason I feel like I need to go back after all these years and to know the language and culture. This Hula dance was beautiful and awesome to have seen on youtube the girls were beautiful.

[@andreawells7190]

Wow what a beautiful and unique hula. I loved the complimentary yet opposite movements of the girls.... and all that beautiful, flowing hair! Powerful. And I no say that just cuz I live Waimanalo side, a great while ago.

[@canihelpyou9067]

i’ve watched this so many times already. this halau always delivers 👏👏👏👏👏

[@stephanebelizaire3627]

BRAVO !

[@Phoenix_7568]

The way they lean back like that!!! That has to take tremendous strength.

[@feralnerd5]

Can you even imagine having core strength like that?

[@songgrenot2132]

It's wonderful watching all hula dance are in sequence.i my hope is people actually visit BEAUTIFUL state of HIWAII like i did you will falling in LOVE😀😀😀

So beautiful!!! Wish I were there!

[@maryglover7600]

Love them something beautiful, about Aloha hula dance! Love the man!

[@ladytiast-shirtsndesigns5297]

Best I've seen

[@waiken1950]

How fortunate we are to have the rich polynesian culture of Hawaii as part of our diverse heritage asa Americans. We need to treat this diversity as the national treasure it is.

[@hcassells66]

Actually you need to de-colonise Hawai'i and give it back to Kanaka maoli is it was illegally annexed by your terrorist country

[@grammybear4226]

🐼 Big Bear Hugs from Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼...

[@Kiwismith-ti7ji]

This is just amazing and I love that I am part Hawaiian

[@aminasal]

This is so beautiful. so powerful

[@ilaera7830]

when they bring the rocks out it makes my heart feel at ease idk what it means or what this kind of rock dance is called but i love the rock dances

[@robertwilkins8357]

So many in unison sma movements just amazing, i love to watch if only i could see this there!

[@mindya1799]

What a testimony to their strength. I would be needing knee transplants after this.

[@mattlives2travel948]

What an outstanding performance!! Well deserved win!! Congratulations!!

[@robertwilkins8357]

So beautifull, how do they move so much together. I love hawaii. I would like to travel there.

[@BubbleGumzKorner]

It hurts my soul that the British saw Hawaiians and thought "let's colonize them and steal their land!" Instead of working in partnership with a Hufflepuff like Nation they ruined it. If I was sailing the "New To ME World" and met the Hawaiians, it'd be nice to chill and say "ok, seeya same time next year, bye." I wouldn't COLONIZER them. The audacity. Glad their traditions survived, as the UK did a number on them,their resources and their islands.

[@hcassells66]

It was mostly the US that messes up Hawai'i

[@carnivoreessie]

This was fantastic!!!

[@anaphylacticpete5788]

I dont know what rabbit hole brought me here, but this was spectacular. Very cool. Wish I understood it.

[@missbhav]

That is incredible! It’s so beautiful

[@pandaEmpress]

Brought to tears! So beautiful!

[@abbydoodles6902]

That was the best hula performance I have seen! Mahalo!

[@anaigutierrez3097]

It's absolutely hypnotic.... I LOVE It 😍😍😍

[@teresitaviera3000]

MARAVILLOSO!!!

[@vikingmama93]

Beautiful, powerful women with beautiful and powerful music and dance. AMAZING!

[@danielholowaty2648]

Ive been watching the last Merrie Monarchs and it seems now like less people are coming 😕

[@marciabertrand5547]

Simplified beautiful, don't understand the language but it's beautiful. Trinidad

[@jeanineclavier493]

c'est magnifique !!!

[@hcassells66]

Polynesian culture is so beautiful it's unbelievable

[@madelineholwill4276]

They are wonderful. Very dedicated and elegant. Are the items in their hands similar to castanets?

[@chantalbarcasse668]

Bravo à vous les filles ofa atu

[@marinasilveirasilveira9371]

EXCELLENT!!!! LOVED IT!!! They emanate such great energy and power with their voices and moves! 🤩👏🏽

[@juanvela7164]

They all have such beautiful heads of hair

[@weseehowcommiegoogleis3770]

Wish I knew what was conveyed.

[@yasakaKeiji]

He akua. Ma waho oʻoe. E kāhea　　Mahalo nui wau 神はいます。あなた方の傍に。そして呼びかけます　　そして大いに感謝します。

[@tonifish3879]

I wonder if they all have such long hair or do some wear wigs? Traditional chanting & dance always gives me goose bumps!

[@seapearltoo1]

This Halau NEVER disappoints!!!

[@ТатьянаСадковская-с8й]

Какое чудесное представление и самобытная культура!

[@milagroslov5433]

Qué hermoso! Me gustaría conocer más de esta fabulosa cultura.

[@jws1948ja]

Fierce and majestic.

[@sheebrazy]

So beautiful 🥺😍

[@ireneshafer4821]

WOW!! Sure would be nice to have us know what their singing. I really enjoy watching the dances that speak of tradition.

[@mylittledogshoppesouthpark1350]

Incredibly beautiful performance

[@maryroller4417]

Beautiful, powerful talented

[@giuliasantos8796]

This is wonderful

[@superdill6665]

You would have to have very strong knees to do this I think. Just thinking about doing the move where they lay all the way back with their knees in kneeling position makes me hurt! Mad kudos to all these folks who dance so beautifully. I'm almost certain many of them are dancing with a bit of pain in their knees. But they sure don't let it stop them.

[@NKLnDime]

All aspects.....absolutely beautiful!

[@jenniferjones1821]

amazing

[@dc8559]

Linda, perfeita resistência. Maravilhosa coreografia

[@cinthiabordini]

Linda essa dança ancestral que conheci através de um filme da Disney. ESTOU MARAVILHADA de assitir esse vídeo! Muito obrigada!

[@felicitaainsworth6971]

WOW JUST BEATIFUL

[@valelliott2106]

I would love subtitle to fully understand.

[@manramen]

I wish I understood better how to read the "credits" at the beginning. I can't tell whats what. This said I do enjoy the performances.
