Lei Pikake - Hapa

Here is another song!
Name: Lei Pikake
Artist: Hapa
Album: Hapa

[@anela4515]

Every year since 7th grade, I do hula dances in the talent show, to show people my culture and passion. My dad is half Hawaiian and I grew up listening to a lot of island music. Not many people here in America know what hula dancing is and why it is important. Doing hula shows people that there is more than just Ballet and hip-pop. It really shows who I am and where I come from. It makes me proud to show people I'm more than just the 3/4 Caucasian they see but the 1/4 Hawaiian they could get to know.

[@Lisahickerson]

I am a hawaiian who has never been to hawaii-this song makes me melancholy for a land and people I've never met. It speaks to my heart,thanks Hapa for bringing your aloha spirit to Santa Barbara. Lisa Leilani Hickerson

This album by Hapa was the winner of 6 Na Hoku Hanohano Awards including Album of the year. You don't have to be from Hawaii and understand the Hawaiian language to appreciate this beautiful music.

The BEST of all time of any singers/songwriters. Your music helps me when I'm depressed, and joyful times. I rely on this CD for mental reasons. I saw you in ashland oregon years ago. Thank you Hapa.

They make my day less stressful and remind me of the beauty of my 2nd home. Coming back to my childhood home in a couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to one day coming back and never leaving.

Tent camping at Waimanalo and Bellows Beaches . . . body surfing under a full moon in the warm water. I can still hear the sound of the grinding sand when my head when beneath the water. Walking back to the campfire, Hapa would always be playing . . .

Used to listen to this song over and over on my mp3 player as I rode my horse in the Waimanalo mountain trails...my beloved horse has since passed, but this song keeps him close to my heart...

I love this song since I moved to Oahu Hawaii 1993. Oahu has a special home since I landed. When I pass, I want this song to be played at my funeral 🌹

[@tivatautala2063]

This song makes me realize how lucky all polynesians are to have grown up on the islands that teaches alot about life and how to make it. Im from Am Samoa and i moved here on the big island 18 years ago and it feels like i never left home. Compared to the mainland where kids run the household, technology becomes their education and disciplining your child is against the law, Disrespect is never corrected and manners are not taught.

This is the kind of music that we should remember and expose our children to. Hip hop, rap, r&b all have a place. But this here is our culture. We need to pass it on to our children and our future. If not, Hawaii will become less of what we believe it is and more of the that government wants. I';m not a "Hawaii Sovereignty" sign waver or anything. I just feel that this song means to us locals what we want to pass on.

Never mind, found it!! Silly me, I should have checked "related videos" (on the right) first. Ku`u lei Awapuhi is the name of the song I was after. Apparently it`s an old but a goodie folk song.
