WORDS EARTH & ALOHA DVD

Our Price: $22.00

#V363D

A documentary by Eddie and Myrna Kamae, Words, Earth & Aloha was the 1995 Hawaii International Film Festival's Silver Maile Award Winner for Best Film by a Hawai`i filmmaker. In Hawaii, music has always been much more than a form of entertainment; it has been a key to Hawaiian culture. This documentary explores the sources of a complex tradition; from early chants and the 19th century gospel influences, to the work of composers who flourished between the 1870s and the 1920s, for whom Hawaiian was still a first language. This film pays tribute to the poetry and play of their lyrics, as well as the places and features of nature which inspired songs still loved and played today. (60 minutes)
