Москва, ничего не знаю о гавайской культуры, но когда выступает этот парень, я оторваться не могу. Смотрю все ролики с его участием. Супер!!!

[@mamayanga]

The clothes covers his modesty

[@l.m.6090]

I'm SO glad that Hawiian men dance. I love the beauty and grace of the men and their pleasant expressions. It's so much better than seeing men with scowls on their faces and a bad attitude on top of it.

[@CJLinOHIO]

I'm not Hawaiian, I know nothing about hula. But this man's performance was flawless. So beautiful to see the culture preserved.

[@eri9954]

[@galinadomaxina9753]

У танцора одежда не для танца..такое ощущение как будто вышел на улицу из дома мусор выбрасывать

[@НадеждаГончарова-ц9ш]

Вообще-то, на фестивале они танцуют в набедренных повязках. 😆

[@whatsoeveralien]

Nice. Should have removed the shirt off!

[@JodyY808]

This kind of modern hula is generally not done without a shirt even if you want to see more!

[@jeaby2757]

This is very nice presentation of culture dance, I am very love it.

[@MissyLou222]

The hula was cool but this man and his vocals are wild, I could listen to this on replay. Cheee

[@JodyY808]

Yes, Kuana Torres Kahele is a multiple award-winning Hawaiian artist who writes, sings, and plays Hawaiian music, dances and teaches hula, and makes beautiful flower and precious Ni'ihau shell lei, among his many talents. He was formerly in the group Nā Palapalai, and he is very active on social media. You can find many more videos of him performing on KZbin, including on my channel. Just do a search with the group or his name and youʻll find much more of his voice and music to enjoy.

so manly. O Romeo ko u inoa. No Phils mai au. Aloha. I am starting to learn your language hawaiian :) Mahalo piha.

[@JodyY808]

Aloha e Romeo. Is "Phils" the Philippines? No ʻĀina Pilipino ʻoe. Mahalo no ke aʻo ʻana i ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi. Thank you for learning the Hawaiian language. It is the best way to understand the songs (nā mele) and dance (hula) and culture (moʻomeheu) of Hawaiʻi.

[@Djm8520]

Traditional costuming is much better.

[@JodyY808]

This hula was not part of the show. It is a custom in Hawai'i for musicians on stage to call up people from the audience to perform or for someone to get up and dance if they feel like it. This dancer was just sitting watching the show and that is why he is dressed in his regular clothes. It's also why it took a while for them to decide which song to do.

[@Djm8520]

@@JodyY808 You seem to have felt the need to state the obvious. I merely said the traditional costumes are better.

[@JodyY808]

Sorry, I misunderstood. Other viewers have criticized the way he or other dancers from the audience are dressed, and some people didn't like how long it took before they started playing the music in this video.

[@joannag1610]

HOLY MOLY that was great

[@YakinDenganAllah]

Telling a story in the dance🤔 i guess🤔

[@JodyY808]

That's what the Hawaiian hula is. It tells a story through dance. Like other Pacific Island cultures, the Native Hawaiians had an oral culture and did not have a written language, so they passed on their history, genealogies, and stories through chants, songs, and dance. The Hawaiian language is also very poetic and filled with metaphors, so there is usually a double meaning in songs (sometimes playful and a little naughty like this one). As Kuana, the singer says, this is a song about a bird that flies from flower to flower, but can you guess what the hidden meaning is?

[@dsummerfan]
