- I love the combination of up-close shots of Ohta-san's hands (showing his technique clearly) and the scenic views of beautiful Waipio Valley on the Big Island (although this song was written about Waipio on O`ahu. : )
Some info about the song (from the huapala website):
Source:King's Hawaiian Melodies - Some credit this mele to George Allen, others to Charles Hopkins, but all agree Mekia Kealakai co-composed this mele. Written for Irene Kahalelauokekoa Holloway, the daughter of John Papa I`i, and the family home at Waipi`o, Ewa, O`ahu. John I`i was an attendent to Kauikeouli, son of Kamehameha Nui who became Kamehameha III. Verse I, stanza 4, Laulani is a place in Waipi`o. Hui, stanza 2, Princess Victoria Kamamalu, sister of Kamehameha IV and Kamehameha V, was the foster child of John I`i. The princess once found shelter beneath a koa tree and John named his daughter Kahalelauokekoa to commemorate this event. Verse 2 stanza 1, pipi and oysters are fish that silence the voice because oyster hunters use hand gestures and do not speak. Speech causes ripples in the water and makes it harder to find oysters. Verse 1 and hui translation from King's Hawaiian Melodies. Verse 2 translated by Mary Pukui. Copyright 1928, 1943, Charles E. King.
ウクレレが巧い人は沢山いるけど、こんなにやさしくて、あたたかくて、ふかいのはオータサンだけですね。うっとりと何度でも聴いてしまいます。
Yes, a lot of players are flashier, but Ohta-san brings out the romance in a song.
I think so too(=^・・^=)
まったくわかります
Always come back to this
What a beautiful song, so masterfully played... I was holding my breath! Ohta san is an incredible musician.
Simply: beautiful melody! What a talent to emotion anybody hearing.
A musician at work. Great performance.
such a good song, can't believe it only has 10,000 view.
10.000
I think I will view that many by myself
Another nice one. Great old tune!
what for a wonderful melody!!!!
Herb Ohta ais truly a master. However whoever this song entitled Waipio is not about Waipio Valley on Hawaii Island but is about the Great Hawaiian Historian John Papa I'i and his home at Waipio in the Ewa District of Oahu. It was composed by Mekia Kealakai who was Royal Hawaiian Band Master twice.
I was actually going to say the same thing. Bad research whoever made this video. Not hating his playing and the valley are beautiful.
何回聞いても心地よい本当に美しいメロディー。
楽譜手に入れて練習してます。

omg!!! the picking in the beginning so hard!!!
Thank you!
Nice! (cheers from Australia!) +
Does anyone know where to find the chords/tabs for this? I can only figure out the very beginning
The best very Nice.
Beautiful video!
What year was this made? It looks likes this was recorded with just his pickup in his ukulele? If so, how does recording have such good tone? Often those piezo pickups can sound pretty harsh, but this tone is like angelic!
I miss Waipio...
王家の谷だったかしら。昔、この風景を何回か見に行きました
I don't know if Waipio Valley is called "Valley of the Kings" but apparently kings used to live there, so you may be right.
is there anyone singing/hula'ing to this song?...sounds so beautiful!
Thank you for pointing that out. I found some info about the song on the huapala website and posted it in the sidebar.
Just practice for 50 years ....and enjoy life.
Such long nails! I need to regrow mine.
