Experience the rhythms of Hawaiian hula with local dance group Kikahamālie Kaʻiwalani Hale o Hula and Desert Strummers. Learn to dance hula, learn about implement instruments used in hula.
This is an album of the famous features of Hawai'i. These are the islands, the mountains, the shores, the plants, the lei, the chiefs of Hawai'i.
We presented the program at Arizona Aloha Festival in March, 2024.
Available for streaming and download.
Kumalae Matthews led the musicians for Kaimikahu Hale O Hula. He would teach anyone who was interested to play music for hula.
In 2013, Mike Bonnice became leader of the band.
We continue taking on new members -- people who want to learn and play Hawaiian music.
