I have loved Na Vaqueros since I first heard it, and now this with the hula that combines the Hawaiian with the Hispanic dancing (the swirling dresses) is just awesome!!!

[@MrNmsalas820]

Mexican Dancing (aka Baile Folklorico) It’s ok to say. I am Mexican-American, knowing part of my culture also has influence in Hawaii makes me even more proud…It’s not Hispanic dancing.

[@renierk7758]

@@MrNmsalas820 Thank you for the correction. I grew up in Texas, and this reminds me of the dancing they used to do there, but I know this is not truly the same, since it has the Hawaiian influence. :-) Wish I could have been there to see the whole show!!

[@MrNmsalas820]

@@renierk7758 It’s all good….I was raised SE NM and was born in a small Western town in Texas….Grew up listening to all kinds of Spanish music. I live in NV now and every now and then I’ll go to watch Folklorico when they’re here during certain celebrations. It’s a great appreciation of history.

Oh I want to order the pink and yellow multi tiered ruffle dresses! Beautiful! Does anyone know the designer, or studio name it's from? Mahalo! All the songs and dances were excellent, but the young singer made me cry. He was outstanding!! So much emotion, pride and joy. So proud of him.

Mahalo nui loa! My oldest sister was a 1984 alumni Lori Ann Togia "LA". I didn't past the test so I went a different route.l but absolutely beautiful that our culture is still being EXPOSED. MAHALO Kamehameha Schools!!!!

BOLOGNA

[@nathanlau7143]

Kam schools love the performance but come on a lot of Hawaiian more %not in your schools and please let more Hawaiian children in your schools not paid to attend your school facts

[@sasquatch8268]

This is not true at all. I practically went to Kamehameha for free. Most of the students that get to attend Kamehameha are from Waianae and Nanakuli (predominantly Native Hawaiian areas).

[@steveboy7302]

Many are probably just filipinos
