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

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.

[@pengbeng]

I love the expression and the joyfulness of the dancer. Superb music and dance in harmony. I want to dance like that too! Wanna come to Singapore?

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.

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.

Is the dancer filipino?

He's Hawaiian and his first and last names are Hawaiian, but he may some other ethnicities in his family tree as many people do in Hawai'i.

[@MrLouis2865]

Most of Hawaiians are mixed...I know this first hand. Although my last name is Smith. lol. hapa here.

[@dracolo3076]

Bravo,, IG IG IG

[@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?
