Proud of Our New
Release! Stories, songs and chants of Hawai`i.
The
album begins, like the Hawaiian day, with the evening. In "Face of the
Moon," guitar and Hawaiian flute intertwine, creating a soundscape in which
stone castanets, seed-filled rattles, and a small gourd on a string add a
sense of movement in the night. Next, we learn about Hina, Hawai`i's woman
in the moon. In the Native Hawaiian calendar, each night is named for its
phase of the moon. Learn them all in the charming oli presented by Leilehua.

Saving your Hide
More
than twelve million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in the United States
each year. Avoiding direct sunlight and staying indoors in the heat of the
day is a good start, but according to the American Academy of Dermatology,
up to 80 percent of ultraviolet sunlight can pass through clouds, or be
reflected off of snow. And while a glass window will block the UVB rays that
cause sunburn, cell-damaging UVA rays still get through. |
Hilo Hanakahi i ka Ua Kani Lehua
The name "Hilo" is ancient, and was famed in legend long before historic
times. It has several meanings. It can mean "twisted," like a thread or
rope. Thus, it is also the name for the first thin, twisted sliver of light
to appear on the Eastern horizon at dawn. Hilo is the name for the first
night in the Hawaiian month. And it also is the name of a renowned
Polynesian navigator who is believed to have discovered this coast. His
chief, to honor the feat, named the area for him. |
