The 2024 Kū Mai Ka Hula competition kicks off early with a film screening and discussion led by Lanihuli Kanahele, great-granddaughter of the late Edith Kanakaʻole. She will be accompanied by special guests as we celebrate this world-renowned mele, Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai, and all it encompasses.

Edith Kanakaʻole practiced environmental stewardship through the mele that she composed and the hula that she choreographed. This was a staple in her practice. This presentation will highlight the diversity within Hula and the ocean as we follow the song Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai. Allow us to showcase the importance of our environment and how the practice of hula reflects this. Without a healthy ecosystem, there is no hula. Without the Hula, there are no records.
