All Hawaii Stand Together by Liko Martin

Written by the Hawaiian poet Liko Martin, this mele is a call for all of us to find our KULEANA, to realize how to interact with it, and ultimately live it... and stand together for the well being of our lahui. Hawaii musicians from all over this pae 'aina o Hawai'i come together in a show of unity to call us to revitalize our KULEANA...
Project KULEANA was created by three Native Hawaiian men who share the perspective that KULEANA is what makes music Hawaiian. A KULEANA to the 'āina (land) and our strong ancestral connection to it. Project KULEANA aspires to increase the innate value of Hawaiian music and the performance of it to inspire people to reflect on one's own KULEANA. Project KULEANA seeks to encourage people to re-discover, re-connect and re-vitalize what Hawaiian music and performers of Hawaiian music represent.
In partnership with Kamehameha Publishing, the first two music videos from Project KULEANA are proudly released featuring mele with resounding significance for our community. "Kaulana Nā Pua,"penned by Ellen Prendergast in 1893 in response to the overthrow of Lili'uokalani and the Hawaiian Kingdom, and "All Hawai'i Stands Together" written by Liko Martin during the cultural re-invigoration of the 1970s, capture the profound relevance of lōkahi (unity), 'aloha 'āina (care of and connection to place) and kuleana (individual and collective responsibility) then and now.

I'm a Michgander...BUT I will always ..always consider the folks of Maui my sacred brothers and sisters...I have had the privilege knowing their kindness and love...Thank You !😊

[@Spencer_Keanini]

Born and raised in Lahaina… this song is most appropriate right now. Mahalo nui to the other islands and ‘ohana who take it upon their own kuleana to kōkua during these times.

I have been to the Islands 7 times and when I'm not there I go in my thoughts.For the past few years I listen to Hawaiian music every morning to start my day peacefully. Aside for my love of your land, I love the culture and hope that you continue educating us, non Islanders ,about it. This song and the performance is spectacular. Thanks for posting it.

[@skinnerbob9790]

I returned from THE BIG ISLAND last night .. my 8th trip and can't wait for my next one..It is Paradise for my wife and me..I'm too set in my ways to physically move there , but I am there mentally all the time. It is a "brain vacation" for us to escape there and be a "guest of the Island". While we are there we get no phone calls(we don't ever text), no mail, and no contact with the outside world. If I lived there I think that it would not be our "Great Escape".

[@warroom17]

skinner bob Mahalo Nui for embracing the aloha spirit within you and sharing it with others. This is what it means to be Hawaiian 🌈🙏

[@Karmawithacrown]

Nearly 40 years ago, a man known as Unko Kaimana from “the west side band” on Kauai including unko Bambi Unko Clyde Unko boy and more. WROTE AND COMPOSED this song on a beach named Pakala.. unko kaimana wrote many songs that other artists of Hawaii sing as their own… this is one of them. Sadly he passed away too early and never had the chance to share his music to all of Hawaii.. he asked my dad Unko Bambi and his relatives to do all they can for people to hear his voice through the people. This song was his final prayer for us that we be AURAI!

[@ikaikaxkeahi]

[@kanakasurfer5407]

Awesome project and great collaborative effort, I'm not sure what is going on with the release of these songs but hopefully they will be either online or in a CD. I was sorry to hear of the passing of Rebecca Leinaala Kalama Paiaina Heine in September. You can tell on this track she sang with such love of Hawai'i and was a wonderful human being in all that she did for the community and the aina. Very proud of this effort and we should all live Kuleana both individually and collectively as Leinaala did.
