i'm tahitian and i saw you in tahiti in july 2007 and i still and always be impressed by your talents. keep on and thanks for what you're doing with our culture
Absolutely beautiful! Mauruuru roa for sharing it :) It's just too bad you're located in California. I'm looking for a new group to dance for and like the energy your dancers give off. Mahalo again for sharing.
@maohivahine ....I know that it can be pretty hard finding a halau that fits you as a person....believe me, I'm far from laid-back...I'm blessed with students who love the culture & know/understand their responsibility as my haumana. Although I don't have the Hawaiian blood running through my veins, for my kumu I still have the responsibility of perpetuating the cutlure as she had taught me....I hope you find a halau..there are a lot of halaus out there in oahu that I have mad respect for
@aotearoamami ......The singer is Mevina Liufau of Nonosina based in Anaheim, California....you may check their website to see if they have this CD available....Mauruuru roa, Kumu Lorie, Kawailehua
@28kawai28 when I am meant to. Mahalo for your kokua! Hopefully the next time I am in California, I am able to catch one of your shows and meet you and your halau. Mauruuru again :)
AINT GON LIE YALL NEED TO COME TO UTAH AN TEACH THESE DANCE GROUPS OUT HERE TO DANCE GRACEFULLY LIKE THAT!! LOL!! HEHE.. NAW JOKES JOKES!! BUT NICE DANCE LADIES!! :)
goodness, we were so inspired by this song and dance! I'm so sorry we didn't ask permission to use your choreography first, but I just wanted you to know that we both loved your version of the dance and I hope we did it justice. =)
It was an honor to see someone (other than my halau) who really loved our version....as a kumu, my job was done...and yes, you girls did a great job...I couldn't stop smiling when I was watching your video...keep up the good job = ) Auntie Lorie
@LA23leira ....I had choreographed this song as an ahuroa - tahitian hula with a long dress on....I believe others may have choreographed it as an aparima - faster tahitian hula with a long or short pareo (sarong) & bra
@maohivahine ...mauruuru roa for the kind words....I am blessed with my "kids"....where are you located at? I may know a few groups in your area.... Kumu Lorie = )
i heard theres three versions to dancing songs like thesse. i believe this is the slowest, nd thers a faster version of this song, what are they called?
@28kawai28 Aita pe'ape'a :) It's nice to see dancers really enjoying themselves! You're very luck to have them, and they you! I'm currently in Honolulu, close to Waikiki. There are a bunch of halau and a few dance troupe near here, but none that I feel comfortable joining. I prefer dancing for someone who is laid-back with dancers that are as well. I don't like walking into a studio and feeling like I need to dance for my life >_
@28kawai28 E kala mai, I meant a halau that is humble :) I want to dance for a Kumu who is teaching because he/she loves the culture and dancing, and he/she is not in it for fame or the glory of competition. Been there, done that. It isn't my "cup of tea". There are a lot of well respected Kumu who do not have Hawaiian blood. It's a person's heart that matters most. Yes, there are a lot of halau with my respect as well, but their practice schedule is hard for me to do. I know I'll find a halau

Tama Ma’ohi Lyrics/Translation
Category: Music
Te 'oto' oto nei
Te manu o te ra'i
Pehepehe no 'oe
E te tama o te fenua
ua riro ho'i 'oe
maite ho'e feti'a
No te ra'i e turamarama
To'u orara'a
The birds are singing in the sky,
a chant to you, child of the land.
You are like a star in the sky,
that lights up my life.
'O 'oe ta'u mihira'a
Ta'u ferurira'a
i te mau mahana ato'a
'O 'oe te niu o te orara'a
Te papa e vai nei
I roto i to'u nei mafatu
'Aue te 'oa'oa
Ia 'oe e te tama
E tama ma'ohi
I miss you in my thoughts everyday.
You're the foundation of life,
that remains in my heart.
All the happiness to you child,
Polynesian child.
@brandonkahele01 ....mahalo/mauruuru roa....i just sent you the words & translation..enjoy....Kumu Lorie
