Kumu Kimo Keaulana joins HPR's DJ Mermaid (Paige Okamura) for a nostalgic and humorous discussion that reflects on Uncle Kimo's roots in Hawaiian music and hula.
Together, they share an evening of storytelling about music, memory, and education that explores how knowledge is shared, who is entrusted to carry it forward, and the cultural protocols that guide the learning and performance of these songs.
This Storytellers’ Series invites curiosity, reflection and a deeper appreciation of the artistry and knowledge embedded in Hawaiian music traditions.
