This was my fave part. Seeing the people responsible for keeping hula alive and well do their thing. They deserve all the love and praise. Thank you so much for sharing
I really wish they would actually coordinate all the kumu to come onto the stage to be recognized. Then when they are all on the stage, they perform a song or two, then give them all their gifts. Some of the kumu took a whole to get to the stage and barley danced at all. I think everyone loves to see the kumu dance.
I agree. I go every year and I always have no problem staying the WHOLE entire asana/award night. However, we need to keep in mind that by the time it gets to the point where the kumus can dance it's already like almost, or already, 1:00 in the morning. By then the kumu, and of course everyone else, is very tired... I can only imagine how tired the kumus themselves must feel after such a long years of intense practicing and a long week of Merrie Monarch festivities. Aloha.
So nice to hear the beautiful voice of Kimo Kahuano and I loved the half of Merrie Monarch I stayed up late enough to watch. Congrats to everyone. Maika'i a;;/
Everybody looks so Happy, it made my eyes leak! Such Beautiful Hula , I feel lucky knowing about this tradition and am very happy it has not been forgotten!
Wonderful to see happy smiling faces once again. The nightmare of the last two years fading away as normal life resumes as it always should have done. 🌺
