First episode of 2021.  Sorry we've been missing for so long, but we are back with a new episode to explore what this widely known oli is really all about and talk about how we can use it in everyday thinking.

Back from hiatus.  We are back into the mix just in time for Lā Kuʻokoʻa, and to celebrate, we are on with our very first guest to learn about the origins of the mele He ono, written by Bina Mossman and performed by, pretty much everybody who loves music and food.  Hope you enjoy!

The cool thing about Mele Hawaii is that it can take many forms.  In this episode, we take a look at the song Hoʻa by our friends The Vitals 808 on how they promote Aloha ʻāina through their genre of music to awaken the masses.

This week, we tilt into the world of the beautiful act of regeneration via procreation.  Our oli kupuna aint got time to be cute or shy, we keep it real as we dive in to the world of oli ma'i with Kauaihamakua.  Let us know what you guys think.

One of the most commonly heard Oli you will ever hear, I ku mau mau is an oli with humble origins that spurs and ignites the people who hear it to join in and take a stand.  Join us as we remember that stand our kupuna took for Mauna Kea 1 year ago.

Memories of small kid time will kick in when you hear this episode, as we remind you of the fund hand chanting game of Helu po where we compete for cousin dominance, but most importantly learn our moonphases! Join us as we talk story about our good old childhood days learning the Mele Helu Po. 

Aloha, and welcome back kanaks!  The world is going through a time of transition.  From one state of being to a new state of being.  And often times, this  transition is can be scary and unpredictable.  But the transition only occurs because it needs to, and transformation is required for things to adapt to environmental changes.  This oli, Aua ia E Kama, speaks to that transition,  It speaks about Hulihia, or that tumultuous time where things are turning.  I hope you all enjoy this episode as we dive deed into this ceremony.  It will be one of our most enlightening episodes yet.

In this episode, we will be discussing the dynamic functionality of our native forest.  Kaukahalia is a chant that observes the elemental deities that reside in our forest that perform one of the most important environmental processes we all depend on.  Check us out as we perform and decipher the true meanings of Kaukahalia.
