I love this! Classic Hawaiian which I was taught some about in the forties & fifties when studying the Hawaiian Electric Steel Guitar. The singing, instrumentation and the Hula is just perfect🥇

I Kona at it’s best by Kaapana. The Crown song for the Hula. This is how it is done, the Hawaiian way.

Thank you Ken Levine for this fragrant Hawaiian Breeze, refreshingly Beautiful

@flyingcheff 7 лет назад

The dancer is exquisite. You can SEE and feel the real true aloha in her smile, her moves, her hands. No ugly there at all. The dress would be pretty, but it would only add a tiny bit to the amazing flow of the message inside her dance.

@edgardolopez1862 5 лет назад

Indeed!

@beatglauser9444 3 года назад

@@edgardolopez1862 True indeed. I bet she is of Filipino origin. I was amazed how many Hawaiian musicians are at least partly Pinoy. Filipinos are adicted to music and dancing. I must know: My wife I married over thirty years ago is a musician and my daughter as well. Filipinas are dancing Hawaiian dances to this day: In Manila and in Europe as well.

True hula hands...hypnotic

@DrNSalmon 11 лет назад

"Keep your eyes on the hands." With all due respect to Brother Led--and I'm a real fan of the master--it's awfully difficult to keep my eyes on his mastery of the slack key guitar in this wonderful video. The beautiful hula dancer completely steals the show. (BTW, she is my re-model contractor's niece.) Aloha!

@amanak65 4 года назад

Can you please tell me what her name is, I so wanna marry her😂 She's way more than beautiful.

@jessicanakamura9161 10 лет назад

You are the master of all masters mr. Led nobody can get those fingers you have there, keep burning those slack key... dnt loose em.

Ledward playing with an incredibly sensuous dancer who embodies this beautiful music. His great voice and slack-key guitar have few peers. Looks like she belongs to the bass player.

@riodosa40 5 месяцев назад

The young lady doing the Hula should have some recognition for she is in deed fantastic. I agree that she is not dressed in clothing that would accentuate her performance however, I loved it all. The music with the hula, just perfecto!

@mikey123422 10 лет назад

Led did not write this song --- i believe it is a"trad " song --- nevertheless it embodies the the beauty of of the essence of hawaiian music !

@willienelsontunes 9 лет назад

You are absolouty correct! Led Kaapana did not write "I Kona" However, he does a fantastic rendition of it. The lovely hula dancer is Hypnotic! Composed in 1929, the lyrics were given to George Naope by James Kelepolo in the early 1980s. The mele expresses the composer's love for Kona on the Island of Hawaiʻi and the reason he moved there.
