Hula Performance
Submitted by daniel on Mon, 07/16/2007 - 13:57.
I ripped the Hawaiian songs we listened to the other night that we are supposed to hula to.
Songs:
'Ulupalakua
That's The Hawaiian In Me
To listen to the songs (if your browser can play mp3 files):
Link: ulupalakua+.mp3
Or right click [ctrl-click on a mac] the link above to download the 3.8mb file.
Let me know if you guys have problems.
Both songs are on the one mp3 file.
Put it on your iPod! :)
For those who might need/want the song and are not part of the leadership tour group, the song file can be found at: http://www.uchinanchu.net/leadership/songs
Ka Nohona Pili Kai hula
For those who are familiar with the Japanese/Okinawan song Nada Sou Sou, the music was written by an Okinawan group (BEGIN), the song inspired Keali'i Reichel to do a similar song in Hawaiian: Ka Nohona Pili Kai, which won song of the year a few years back.
Nada Sou Sou can be seen performed by Rimi Natsukawa here:

Ka Nohona Pili Kai done with Hula here:

The "Nada Sou Sou" part starts 1:54 into the video/hula, and is only about 3-4 minutes long. So the Hula is not as long as the 7+ minute video. I think the melody/tune of Ka Nohona Pili Kai will be recognizeable to the Okinawans.
