I lived 100 yards from the Poi factory, and knew that lady with her fruits by the bridge, and there was a little store next to the Poi factory. Those were the beautiful days, with the Kalo patch across the street. I grew up and LOVED.
Cheeeeee waiahole is my hometown I was born & raised in waiahole homestead Rd. Ms matayoshi was the lady selling her fruits on the side of the road. Great memories this song brings back great job on the remake of the song throwing in the reggae was awesome 3 scoops of aloha was the original singers that i knew of when it came out ALOHA FROM JUMAWAN BLOODLINE. WAIAHOLE HOMESTD RD
This was the song that exposed me to so much more of the local music but more than that, embrace the culture. Being a teen and early twenties growing up on Maui in the early 80's, Long haired rock star wanna be white boy falling in love with musicians like Willie K. , Keola Beamer, Bother Noland, and 3 Scoops of course, I can't hear the song 40 years later almost and not cry. God bless Hawaii and the local people and culture. May it live on forever.
Made my first trip to the Islands last week for my 45th birthday. Heard this song on my first day in Maui and I cant get it out of my head. Thanks for posting on youtube.
