Hālau ʻO Lilinoe • Nā Kumu Lilinoe & Pele Kaio

Hālau ʻO Lilinoe Nā Kumu Lilinoe & Pele Kaio Carson, California & Waimea, Hawaiʻi "He Aloha Moku O Keawe" In 1894, Emalia Kaihumua composed this song while performing hula in San Francisco and she expresses deep homesickness for Hawaiʻi Island. The contrasting tog, snow, and cold of foreign lands and the warmth, familiar food, and comforts of home are emotional realities facing kānaka abroad. We honor Moku o Keawe and kānaka living away from Hawaiʻi who long for the home that lives in their bones.
