Oh how this Song takes me back in time. When I lived 16 years on Oahu this was my favorite Hawaiian Song. This wonderful song was beautifully done with the lady's hula and with a lady's voice.
When I first visited Hawaii we were having lunch in a beautiful hotel in Hilo when Nina's version of this song came on the sound system. The beauty of the song & the quality of Nina's voice absolutely stunned me. I ran to the hostess & insisted she find out what the song was & who the singer was & then stopped in every record store until I had bought everything by Nina I could find. Thank you so much for uploading this. I can't find any other music by Nina on RUclips.
Words describing this breath-taking performance are difficult to find but just know that I wept. I came to these magnificent islands in 1963 and immediately bathed in Hawaiian music to include the golden voice of Emma Veary, wife of DJ Aku Head Pupule. I will never forget this performance, ever! What a gift you have given to all of us kiionioni7. From my heart to yours Aloha!
Aloha Uncle Kalani, WHile I was on the phone with you and you shared this video with me my eyes filled up with tears. How beautiful your shows are! I can tell you love home so much in your heart. More so I cant wait to learn from you and meet you. Mahalo nui loa Uncle!
Long ago I heard a lady in Hawaii sing Aloha Hawaii, her name was Emma. This lady sure brought back those memories of Emma's voice singing this favorite song I still love hearing. Hawaii Aloha is a song that I cherish.
Thank you for this video! I think Nina's version of Hawaii Aloha is the most reverent by far! In general Jack DeMello's arrangements are too "Hollywood" in flavor for me, but he created a solemn, reverent setting for this most adored song!
Mahalo. Wanted you to know that the voice belongs to Nina Keali`iwahamana, not Emma Veary. Emma's voice is very operatic and Nina's voice is more like a serene crystal pool of water.
@starlight1946 That would be Emma Veary & you can find some things by her on RUclips. Hers was another beautiful voice, a little more operatic in quality than Nina's, but they were both outstanding at singing the beautiful Hawaiian songs.
Mahalo for your comment. I really would like to bring it home. The show in it's entirety would make an impact on the Hawaiian Community. My desire is to bring the love I have for my homeland to the masses and the Japanese have been willing to listen. Aloha no, Kalani

I once lived in Hawaii 16 years and two of my children were born on Oahu, I always feel deeply touched by this very meaningful Song.
Aloha Uncle Kalani,

This is Beautiful, its great to see cultures/nations in the Pacific sharing it on here with people all over the world
my what a beautiful hula. Miss Kalima has such grace and splendor in her body language, hips, hands etc.
Yes, she is quite an accomplished dancer and kumu.
I would have loved to have seen the entire musical. This video is beyond amazing -- such a beautiful woman and song. Thank you for posting it.
There may be a video somewhere. If youʻd like I could research it for you.
