Kealiʻi Reichel in an intimate concert at a home in Wailea. He wrote Maunaleo for his mother and last night performed it with some of his best dancers in honor of her - seated, as a sign of respect. Watching him make eye contact with his mom in that playful, loving way... was MAGIC. Chicken skin from head to toe.

Kealiʻi has a vision to create a permanent space for his halau and for the community to gather and immerse themselves in Hawaiian Culture. If you would like to be a part of making this special place a REALITY, you can donate here: https://www.flipcause.com/widget/widg...

Any amount helps :) Mahalo nui loa...

Lyrics:
He aloha no 'o Maunaleo
I lohia e ke kilihuna
Kohu 'ahu 'ao no ka uka
He kamalani kamaehu kau i ka hano e
He kamalei, kamahiwa pa i ka lani e
Ka lani e
He aloha no 'o Maunaleo
I lohia e ke kilihuna
Kohu 'ahu 'ao no ka uka
He kamalani kamaehu kau i ka hano e
He kamalei, kamahiwa pa i ka lani e
Ka lani e
Po'ohina i ka 'ohu kolo
Kahiko no ka poli 'olu
Apo 'ia e na kualono
He hi'ina, hi'ialo, aloha e
Hi'ipoli, hi'ilei, hi'ilani e
Hi'ilani e
Po'ohina i ka 'ohu kolo
Kahiko no ka poli 'olu
Apo 'ia e na kualono
He hi'ina, hi'ialo, aloha e
Hi'ipoli, hi'ilei, hi'ilani e
Hi'ilani e
Eia ku'u lei aloha
No Maunaleo i ka nani
'Ohu'ohu i ka Maile
He kamalani, kamaehu kau i ka hano e
He kamalei, kamahiwa pa i ka lani e
Ka lani e
Eia ku'u lei aloha
No Maunaleo i ka nani
'Ohu'ohu i ka Maile
He kamalani, kamaehu kau i ka hano e
He kamalei, kamahiwa pa i ka lani e
Ka lani e
No Maunaleo ke aloha ku i ka la'i e
Aloha e, aloha e
Ku... u... u...
