The heavenly voice of Dennis Pavao together with Hui Ohana singing this gorgeous melody...it just doesn't get any better. Dennis lives on forever. Mahalo nui loa!
Wendy Campbell completely agreed. I love love this song so much. Makes me cry when I hear it cause my tutu would hula to this song. And other times she would sit by her phonograph with her Kamaka and try to figure out the chords and play with the record
Brah this old school hawaiian jams taking me back memory lane in the early 80s and 90s, back when we where all keikis playing with all the causins and all the uncles playing music on the guitars and auntie's and mom stay in the kitchen with tutu, was always at waimanalo or westside man those where goodtimes❤ when things where simple and so much aloha and good fun, i really really miss it so much 😢😢❤❤
One of my all time favorite mele written for my kumu hula, Aunty Mapuana de Silva and her husband, Uncle Kihei de Silva by Tony Conjugacion as a Christmas gift. Its sentiment is so beautiful, such a song of aloha and friendship. Mahalo for sharing this. Me ke aloha, Auntie Wanda Cleveland, OH
My attraction to Hu' iOhana has always been the guitar work of Ledward Kaapana. The beautiful falsetto and harmonies also take me back to the days. Then...... there's the "beat"..........Aloha all......
I've been loving this song since I was a kid , I remember this song playing in my parents 8 track player while riding down the road in my parents RV , I will always remember my sweet parents and this sweet song til the day I meet them in heaven .
wow, I've been looking for this song everywhere. I did a cover, but nothing comes close to the way Hui Ohana did this. I love the story behind this song, very meaningful. :) Mahalo Nui Loa for sharing this beautiful song.

best ever!!! oh some trans for you peoples wanting to know. The flower of Ilima Entwined with the small leaf maile likened to the valued friendship of my intimates two dear friends nurturing with precious affection extending a fond greeting with esteemed thoughts.
Is this when you n group played music Waikiki. Your playing music Waikiki is true. My story was fake. But it was fun n Kalae believed my story about the coconut
Even if I were to attend the most prestigious universities in the world I would still be second rate to who I primarily should have been “a self sustaining Hawaiian on Hawaiian lands”.
