I just love to watch them dance hula & listen to Kumu Mark Keli’iho’omalu!!! He’s so innovative with the way he chooses to sing/chant the Mele/oli! So awesome!!! Can’t wait to see him in person with the hālau! Ku E!
Academy of Hawaiian Arts has always held a special place for me. Where feelings of tradition, culture, olapa, olelo, implements, mele and stories have been told and expressed in a way and place that leads you to unknowin territory of our ancestors. The past, the present, the future visions of hula is what Kumu Mark portrays each step, each movement, each tap, each thrill, each chicken skin moment! Love you Oakland Hawaiians, Bay Area greats for your purpose and commitment to hula, hana hou, Imua! Best, Faith Thompson Ako
AHA performances never cease to impress me. Awesome transitions, mix of instruments, co-ed & kids to adult movements. Mahalo for your perpetuation, Aloha from Keaukaha,Hilo,HI.
So inspiring to see the younger generations carrying on valuable traditions, being important links in the chain of the survival of God given culture.Thank you to all that dedicate their teachings,time and energy to keeping not only alive but thriving.
AHA always keeps me watching. Kumu Mark never disappoints. I hv always wondered why he has never won any international awards. He is a very able ambassador for the Hawaiian people and culture. Just wondering. Anyone else? Kia ora no Aotearoa.

Never ever heard a chanter that could sustain a chant so long. Talk about the stamina. Mark is amazing!
