Merrie Monarch 2019 Ke Kai O Kahiki

Laamea Perry Waianae Oahu

[@hommedterre1]

As a former dancer of classical ballet, I can see the very difficult moves of this dance. The constant tension throughout the performance they subject their bodies to project that warrior aura must be absolutely straining. Furthermore, the mindset they have to put their mental faculties into, merge their body movement to the music and the story itself requires a high degree of discipline.

[@hawaiianrainbow1080]

I did Ballet also. I know what you mean! Hula to me is harder!

[@heidiarguello757]

OMG they are AMAZING! I'm in love with the strength and spirit they put in every performance. Gosh this is incredible!

[@nonnazepter1017]

Супер ! Великолепное выступление ! Браво ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏

[@thomasdouglass8778]

We have recently started researching these true warriors and hold a true fascination and amazement for their dedication to their art and culture. We will be making our first trip ever to the Islands in 2020 and hope to meet them. Thank you for the video and God bless from the mainland NW.

[@bombygriz]

I have to ask....what do the kane wear underneath these types of outfits? The ones that are more covering you could easily wear normal undergarments....but can they even wear something like a dance belt when dancing Kahiko?

[@hawaiianrainbow1080]

Aloha... traditionally nothing!

[@bombygriz]

Well dang! That takes some balls (pun not intended)!

[@dawnwatkins6554]

This may have been the traditional dress but these days they could have put a pair of shorts on, even if they were skin colored.

[@JohnPorsbjerg]

Out of curiosity, do Hawaiian dancers , male and/or female “go commando” in their dances?

[@hawaiianrainbow1080]

Yes commando lol!

[@berlinerrose]

at last!! Authentic costumes, not those ugly 'skirts' the guys used to wear. Awesome presentation.

[@varadero5337]

Ugly Skirts the guys used to wear ... is your masculinity that fragile ?. you think the Skirts make them Gay ? is that it

[@luissantiago8446]

"Authentic." "Ugly skirts?!" If you're versed in Polynesian culture and history, then you would know that the Polynesians would at times wear garments of Tapa Cloth. Tapa was worn throughout Polynesia, and in fact still is in Tonga and Samoa. When one examines paintings done of Tahitians during the 18th century, one sees them wearing Tapa cloth. And even in prodigious and general amounts. There are illustrations of of even dancers wearing skirt like garments. Herman Melville, in his novel; Typee. Makes mention of the Tapa cloth worn by the Marquesans. The more noble the person, the more Tapa cloth they had and wore. Grass skirts by the way, is not a Hawaiian tradition. It hails from the South Pacific. And it didn't become common in Hawaii until the 20th Century.
