MANA I KA LEO POWER OF THE VOICE DVD

Our Price: $27.00

#V525D

Mana I Ka Leo Power of the Voice examines oli (the Hawaiian tradition of chanting), while taking the audience on a visual journey through some of the most majestic locations in Hawaii. We experience this through the eyes of three contemporary practitioners who have dedicated much of their lives to preserving and perpetuating the voices and words of their kupuna (elders). Dr. Kamana`opono Crabbe from the island of O`ahu, shares how oli has helped him understand the Hawaiian worldview prior to western influence and why it’s important that he continues to pass on this knowledge today. Kaumakaiwa Kanaka`ole describes his obligation and commitment to maintain and preserve the knowledge of the ancestral memories for the next generation. Hokulani Holt from the island Maui converses with the setting sun and preserves the Hawaiian heritage.

Filmed at stunning locations revered to the oli practitioners, this film gives the audience a rare in-depth glimpse at this sacred tradition. HIFF Audience Award Winner Favorite Short Film of the 2010 Hawaii International Film Festival

KI HO'ALU SLACK KEY GUITAR DVD

Our Price: $21.00
Sale Price: $14.00

#V487D
This film is a moving journey into the beauty and meaning of Hawaiian slack key music. Award-winning director Eddie Kamae’s rare combination of master musician and cinematic storyteller is the key to showing how Hawaii’s cultural traditions and the k ho-‘alu guitar intertwine – and opening the door to a greater love of that music. Candid interviews and archival images combine with the music of many virtuoso performers, from legendary Fred Punahou and Gabby Pahinui to Raymond Kane and today’s Ledward Kaapana, to tell the slack key story from the 1830s to the present. It shows you how this music perpetuates family tradition as songs, techniques and special string tunings are passed from one generation to the next. All the main islands are visited, including seldom seen Ni‘ihau, as Eddie Kamae explores this most Hawaiian music and its links with the people and places that have nourished it.
