Description
I have fallen in love with Hawaii: its beauty and its traditions and mythologies. This "kane" is performing an ancient form of Hula known as Hula Kahiko. In ancient Hawaii men and women danced to ho`opa`a (chanters) who used drums or the
double gourds known as the ipu heke. Dances were not for entertainment, but rather to appease the gods and goddesses of Hawai`i so that they would have a good harvest, or in honour of the reigning king and queen, or their strong warriors or chiefs.
