   Thanks.  I will look into both of them this week.

I need audio to learn.  I am learning the spellings and such, but
really do want to pronounce things properly.  I am fromt he South,
and lathough I do not have much of an accent, sometimes..... YIKES!


G.R.I.T.S (girls raised in the south) are the best in the world.. or is
that just for us Carolina girls... Just Kidding... I'm up in
Charleston, SC, and we own property down in Kingland... :) I know the
southern twang can sometimes get in the way of trying to get the words
to come out right..

    Kealiiover... go grab a mic, and if you have a recording program on
your computer.. start "capturing!" and send it to us~~   :)

Keep on singing from your heart..

Thanks Kealiilover for the "Hot Hawaiian Nights" link.  I noticed
Keali`i wasn't wearing a wedding ring anymore.  I'm nosy, so does
anyone know what happened?

I just posted an article from Hawaii Magazine about Keali'i on the
links page. The article was written before Ke'alaokamaile was
released. For those of you who haven't read it, it said that back in
1994, he was standing on a cliff and was thinking about jumping off of
it because he had broken up with a long-time love. Luckily he didn't
jump off of it; the separation of the two of them was how the
song "Kawaipunahele" got written. To add to all that, I don't think he
has a wife. If you haven't read the article, please do so. Trust me, I
learned a lot of things from it that I probably wouldn't have learned
anywhere else.

Well actually, I don't think he has a wife. For those of you who
haven't read it, I found an online article about him in Hawaii
Magazine that was written in 2000 I believe. Ke'alaokamaile wasn't
released at the time it was written. Anyway, it said that back in
1994, he was standing on a cliff and was thinking about jumping off of
it. Prior to that, he had broken up with a long-time love; that was
why he was thinking about doing it. Luckily he didn't; that was how
the song "Kawaipunahele" got written. If you haven't read it, please
do so. Trust me, I learned lots of things from it that I probably
wouldn't have learned anywhere else. I'll post it on the links page.

I myself want to learn Hawaiian but only know a couple things, at
least that's what I think, although someone at the airport in
Kapalua said "you know more Hawaiian than I do" when I said "a'ole
pilikia" as a response to "mahalo." If you do find out how to write
it in Hawaiian, I think you should come up with a tune for it. I
think it sounds just like a mele that Keali'i would compose!

No, I didn't because I didn't know how to translate it. Obviously I
couldn't just go online, find a Hawaiian dictionary, and just look
up everything word for word because forming sentences is not the
same as it is in English. But I did put a couple of words in there
like "ka nohona pili kai." Please note that the song is not to the
tune of "Ka Nohona Pili Kai." It's to "Love Ko To" by Jasmine Trias
(if you know that song.) The ... after it means that you hold that
note longer, so I could have written "kaaaaaaaaaai." (I'm laughing
to myself right now.) Wish I could sing it to all of you right now,
except for melissandimealeta because she already heard me sing it.

I too was going to suggest Aloha Joe's website for the 8 CDs, he just
lowered the price.. Hey, tell him you are with the Kealii Yahoo group
and they sent you to order, He'll put something in the package for ya!

The couse is $21.95 with the shipping and handling.  This course is
normally $30 before shipping on other sites.  You can alway call Aloha
Joe on his toll free # 800 808 1005

Let us know if you order the course and best of luck learning the
laungage.

You can buy an 8 cd Hawaiian Language course from www.alohajoe.com.
You might be past that already but if you're just beginning it should
help.

Aloha flhaole,  I think I have some answers for you.  Netflix has two
DVDs that might interest you.  The first is called, "Kumu Hula:
Keepers of the Culture".  It is full of ancient hula and chant.  This
is what the DVD's description says..."Shot and produced in Hawaii,
this cultural documentary examines the island chain's traditional
dance form, hula. The film begins by exploring the origins of hula,
which date back more than 1500 years to the arrival of the ancient
Hawaiians from Polynesia. It then traces hula's history through the
subsequent years while showing how modern-day hula masters (kumu
hula) preserve its traditions and rituals.

The second is called, "Holo Mai Pele; The Epic Hula Myth."  The
description says,....Hawaii's creation myth Holo Mai Pele relates the
epic fable of the sibling rivalry between a volcano goddess and her
younger sister that resulted in the formation of the South Pacific
islands. Hawaiian dance troupe Halau O Kekuhi dramatizes this sacred
myth through a stirring performance of traditional hula and chanting
that was originally broadcast as part of PBS' Dance In America series.

I have seen both and liked them very much.  I'm also a big fan of
`oli.  The second cd on Keali`i's newly released album is all chant.
You'll like that.

There is bound to be someone on the internet that can help you learn
Hawaiian.  I taught myself SAmoan by reading Samoan/English
Dictionaries and phrase books.  Boy is it different when speaking
with someone.  I just let it be know on the net "Back when the Samoa

I adore Keali'i's music and mission.  I am just beginning to learn
the language.  There is a longing in my heart and a tugging at my
spirit to embrace the culture as a whole.  His music and mission
keep me going. :)

I have never been able to find much on his personal life...I think
b/c some things are well...personal. :)  I can respect that.  What I
want to know is if he will ever be coming to the eastern states?!?!

I have also made a friend or two new fans.  I have pre-ordered his
collection on amazon.com (YEA!).

I was also wondering (as I am learning all about Hawaiian mele and
oli) any good references to good strong rythmic oli.  Lots of drums,
and ipu?!  Maybe we can hope he will put out an oli CD someday.  He
is amazing!

Also, any good suggestions on distance learning for language?  I
have accomplished some unoffical studying on my own, but I must make
it more intense.  I need structure! :) HA!

Kealiilover the link to the interview is working now.

I have changed the group settings.  Now you can upload photos and
files.  You may upload photos of Keali`i, Keali`i with others,
yourself, or your pet.  No cartoons PLEASE.

If you know of a god article on the net post a link.  If you have a
short piece of info the upload it as a file.  I don't know the rule on
music files so I guess we can.  Maybe someone out there knows.

Do me a favor and keep photos and files to the point.

I just want to give a big ALOHA and E Komo Mia to all the new members.
Between all of us I think we can get all our Keali`i Questions
answered.

I will look into fixing the site so you all can add Keali`i photos if
you have them.  Then I can take down the ones I found on the net.

A plug for another favorite Hawaiian artist, Danny Couch.  Visit his
fan club at http://www.dannycouchfanaddicts.com and lear more about him.

Here are the lyrics to my version of that song I recorded if you are
wondering how it goes:

Verse 1:
I've sung about us educating them
Ever since I learned to talk
I see smiles while my chant
Lifts spirits and moves the soul

Bridge:
And now a chance to be among Hawaiians who share my passion
To have a thousand people
To talk to, to not say "I can't"
To share my love and sing my chant

Chorus:
Here we are, my audience and me
Hear me now, finally I'm free
This stage and I, we're in love today
I'm singing my song
Ba ba da ba ba, aloha e

Verse 2:
There may be a lot of things that I love in life,
But most of all it's my family
And no matter how my hula hips sway,
By my side is where they'll always stay

Bridge:
And now a chance to be among Hawaiians who share my passion
To have a thousand people
To talk to, to not say "I can't"
To share my love and sing my chant

Chorus:
Here we are, my audience and me
Hear me now, finally I'm free
This stage and I, we're in love today
I'm singing my song
Ba ba da ba ba, aloha e

Aloha no
Ka nohona pili kai...

Go one note higher:
Here we are, my audience and me
Hear me now, finally I'm free
This stage and I, we're in love today
I'm singing my song
Ba ba da ba ba
I'm singing my song
Ba ba da ba ba
I'm singing my, I'm singing my song
Aloha e

The reason I recorded the song is because I thought it really
described Keali'i. Hope you like it as well.

My name is Lea, I'm very happy to see a fan club developed for Keali'i
Reichel. I'm a fan of him and his music and have had the chance to
meet him personally a few times while attending the Na Hoku Hanohano
Awards in Hawaii. I've also gotten to see him perform several times,
the most recent one being here in Seattle to a sold out audience. I
want to wish you the best of luck with your endevor and I welcome any
questions you may need assistance with as well.
I run Danny Couch's Original Fan Appreciation Website and Approved Fan
Club and have done so since 2000. Hawaiian Music is a passion of mine
and seeing another Hawaiian artist being held in high esteem warms my
heart. I welcome you to come visit me at
http://www.dannycouchfanaddicts.com where we've just debuted Danny's
newest CD. Christmas in Hawaii.

I'd be happy to add a link to my site for you board here for Keali'i
as I receive many inquires about more info on him and know many that
might be interested in joining your group.

BTW  The answer to your first Question is Keali'i was born in 1961
A hui hou ~Lea

Aloha!  Thank you for having this group available.  This man really
inspires me and keeps me connected with a culture that I am learning
and have been facinated with for a very long time.

I live in FL and am a psychology student.  In fact, I have chosen the
Hawai'ian culture and the psychological aspects of their tradtions to
study for my Independent Study.

Know if he ever gets out this way for concerts?!?!

Aloha all. Choose the answers to the following multiple choice
questions that you think describe you the most. Post them up here,
and I'll let you know what song you are.

1. Your favorite type of Hawaiian music is...
a. traditional, mostly with a swing beat, perfect for dancing the
hula
b. slow, relaxing Hawaiian language mele
c. chants
d. contemporary, mostly English

2. Relationships?
a. I have a spouse.
b. I've broken up with a long-time love.
c. I hang out with my own gender more than the other.

3. If you were going to listen to someone other than Keali`i
Reichel, who would it be?
a. Israel "Iz" Kamakawiwo`ole
b. The Brothers Cazimero
c. other genres or artists (If so, who?)

4. Pick the Keali`i Reichel song lyrics that describe you the most.
a. Nou e kawaipunahele...
b. Aloha e, aloha no...
c. He ohu i ka lei hali`a...
d. other songs (If so, which ones?)

5. How was this quiz?
a. It was very easy.
b. It was easy.
c. It was medium.
d. It was hard.
e. It was very hard.

Have fun taking it!

P.S. Some of you may be wondering what the relationship question has
to do with anything, but if you said that your favorite type of
Hawaiian music was slow, relaxing Hawaiian language mele and you've
broken up with a long-time love, "Kawaipunahele" would most likely
be your song.

About that chant I was talking about, I emailed Aloha Joe a while ago
and heard that it was by Sonny Ching. I looked at his CD, but it
didn't seem to have that particular chant on it. I don't think it
sounds like him, but maybe it is. I'll have to keep looking.

Hi Alex.
I'm going to edit this because there were a lot of paragraph marks showing and
your message was mixed in with mine.

As I said in my email to you, it sounds like the concert was a
blast! I wish I could have been there. Like you, I hope the people
at Punahele like all the stuff you sent them.

Speaking of sending things to them, I sent Keali'i a tape of me
singing some songs that I changed the words to a while ago, not for
recording, just for listening pleasure; if he recorded them it would
count as copying someone else's work. I haven't heard from them
since, but I'm sure they liked it. The song was "Aloha E" instead
of "Love Koto" (if you know that song.) Wish I could sing it right
now.

I'll let you know if I find out what that chant is that I was
talking about before

It was awsome watching Keali`i Reichel on stage on September 11th.  I
yelled and screamed a lot, but not enough because I could still talk
the next day.  He danced a lively hula and sang a couple new songs.  We
discovered we were sitting directly behind Puakea Nogelmeier when he
got up a dance a hula to another of Keali`i's songs.  That was almost
as exciting as seeing Keali`i.

Na Leo Pilimihana performed first.  They did an excellent job as well.
I told Aloha Joe he gave me and good education in Hawaiian music.  I
knew all the songs that sang except the ones coming out on thier new
album.  I tried hard not to sing along but when they sang "Friends"  I
gave up and sang along.

I had tried but was unable to get back stage tickets to meet Keali`i in
person.  I got him an "Aloha Joe" t-shirt as a gift because I got to
know his music by listening to aloha joe.  Los Angeles was cool that
weekend.  I ended up letting my daughter wear my sweater so I opened
the t-shirt I had for Keali`i.  I told myself I was wearing his shirt.

I had planned to send the people at Punahele Productions some of my
candles for Christmas but I sent them early.  I went ahead and mailed
Keali`i his t-shirt along with some candles.  I hope they like
them.

Alex sent me this but she let me post it.  Thank you Alex.

1. Your favorite type of Hawaiian music is...
a. traditional, mostly with a swing beat, perfect for dancing the hula
b. slow, relaxing Hawaiian language mele
c. chants
d. contemporary, mostly English

2. Relationships?

b. I've broken up with a long-time love.
c. My spouse is no longer living.
d. I hang out with my own gender more often than the other.

who would it be?
a. Israel "Iz" Kamakawiwo`ole

c. Kekuhi Kanahele
d. other artists or genres

4. Pick the Keali`i Reichel song lyrics that describe you the most.

b. Aloha e, aloha no...
c. He ahu i ka lei hali`a...
d. Know that I'll be loving you just like a patchwork quilt...

5. How was this quiz?
a. It was very easy.
b. It was easy.
c. It was medium.
d. It was hard.
e. It was very hard.

Alex

I'm trying to figure out who sings this chant. It might be Keali'i but
I'm not sure. If it is it isn't on any of his CD's. I heard it on The
Breeze of Hawai`i. It starts out like an oli, and then the drums come
in and it goes something like:

Nu'u ka ko i ke kai,
Na naha ka ko o ke kamaleheola
O ke ko hola e

(then all that repeats; then all the other verses repeat)

Those may not be the right lyrics, but that's the gist of it. Does
anyone recall it? If so, please let me know what it is and who sings
it. Mahalo.

I'm trying to figure out who sings this chant. It might be Keali'i but
I'm not sure. If it is it isn't on any of his CD's. Maybe was he a
guest artist in it? I heard it on the Breeze of Hawai`i. It starts out
like an oli, and then the drums come in and it goes something like:

Nu'u ka ko i ke kai,
Na naha ka ko i ke kamaleheola
O ke ko hola e

(then all that repeats; then all the other verses repeat)

I may not have all the lyrics right, but that's the gist of it. If you
recognize it at all, could you please let me know what it is and who
sings it? If not, please give me some tips for finding it myself.
Mahalo.

Take a look at the Keali`i Reichel website.  It has been updated and
reflects his love of hula.
