Hawaiian Slack Key - Maika`i Ka Makani O Kohala

Details

Description

The title means "Fine Are the Winds of Kohala." The song describes the natural beauty of the Kohala district on the island of Hawai`i in a fond remembrance of time shared with a loved one.

This melody from the 19th century has often been played at a brisk tempo and given the title "Kohala March," but this slower interpretation has been popular since it was done by Sunday Manoa in 1969.

I'm presenting a musical "Aloha Friday" at the plaza in Downtown Pleasant Hill, California through the summer. This video was shot on July 24, 2009, with with a Flip Mino HD and uses camera sound.
