Kamehameha Schools Maui’s Hālau ʻo Kapikohānaiāmālama will host an official screening for the new film, “Hōkūleʻa: Finding the Language of the Navigator,” on Thursday, March 14, at the school’s Keōpūolani Hale.
For Lahaina students Kanoeau Delatori, Anahera Tevaga and Keakealani Cashman, singing and recording a Lahainaluna High School song was not something they expect
The song, “Yonder Lahaina Mountains,” was released on Dec. 31 and features the voices of musical artists Kaleo Phillips, Marvin Tevaga and Kapena DeLima, along with the Kamehameha Schools Maui Ensemble choir and hula dancers. Affectionately known as “The Boarder’s Song,” it was originally composed by Alice K. K. Banham. Phillips, who was among those who lost his home in the August wildfires, said the inspiration for recording the song with KS Maui came to him in a dream.
The November edition of the Hawaiian Music Series will take place on Nov. 30 at 6 p.m. at Hale Ho’ike’ike at the Bailey House Museum in Wailuku. This event will feature a performance by the Kamehameha Schools Maui Hawaiian Ensemble, a group of students committed to preserving Hawaiian culture through music and dance.
