Album Notes

World-renowned hula halau, Halau O Kekuhi, continues to disseminate the invaluable history of Hawai`i across the world through chant and dance under the direction of Kumu Hula Pualani Kanaka`ole Kanahele and Nalani Kanaka`ole.

Halau O Kekuhi has received local, state, national and international recognition for the contributions to Hawaiian culture and art.

Their latest work, "Hi`iaka I Ka Poli O Pele", revisits the journey of the fire goddess Pele, from Tahiti to her home in the Kilauea volcano on the island of Hawai`i. Through these powerful chants, experience the fire traditions of Hawaii's active volcano, the primordial flames fueled by the milieu lives of Halau O Kekuhi, and the sacredness of this history that is Hawai`i.

Discover the legend of Pele through Hawaiian oli (chant), plus fascinating stories for the non-Hawaiian speaker (English translations included).
