Hawaiian Music Hula: Weldon Kekauoha 'Queenʻs Jubilee'

A truly moving performance by Weldon Kekauoha of Queen Liliʻuokalaniʻs composition "Queenʻs Jubilee". Accompanied by the hula of Kumu Kapua Dalire-Moe and her daughter Kili. Recorded for "Island Music, Island Hearts", a Coco Palm Pictures production, on the shores of Kahala Beach on the island of Oʻahu. Weldon is joined by musicians Jack Ofoia on guitar and Alika Boy Kalalui IV on bass.

This is the most heavenly singing and dancing I have ever witnessed! How I wish I had grown up with such a sacred culture to nourish my heart.

Today would be my grandmother's 104th birthday. She was born in Hawaii in 1917, the year that Queen Lili passed away. Our family has 140 years of history in Hawaii, and I am beyond grateful and proud to be from such a beautiful culture so full of love and warmth. My grandmother embodied and epitomized the Aloha spirit, and taught me so much about Ohana, love, generosity and kindness; a queen in her own right. #LouiseOkuBorges #JimmyBorges #CarolyneBorges #CynthiaBorges #RestInParadise

My dad is Hawaiian and my mom haole and we grew up in the mainland. But we were raised Hawaiian. This. The aloha and grace of our queen to compose a song for a peer. She could've just given her a seashell. Some kukui nuts. Instead she gives a masterpiece....because that's who she and we are. You can feel her greatness and goodwill in the mele, man, it just envelopes you. I know I'm Hawaiian when I hear it. And the hula, Weldon and the boys are on point!! One of my all time fav jamz, for sure.

I'm tangata whenua from Aotearoa/New Zealand my mum was very in love with Hawaiian music its ppl and history, we heard beautiful and challenging times for the Queen and her ppl when Colonization spoke like a three pronged fork..2 or more deliberate conflicting msgs for her and her ppl while legislation enforced racist laws to counteract what was promised..the all too familiar story..
My visit to Hawaiiknui and Tahitinui 2012'sh was like reliving our mums stories..
I came away with the belief that tangata whenua
(you) are the "rangimarie" (peaceful) whanau of us🤔 in the Pacific Is. Aotearoa have recently bcum very challenging in how we stand, sing and dance..it wasn't like that in my day..we were becoming uniform in our actions in my day, but the influence of those old kuia in my young life..depending on the story in hand, it was no big deal to vary our actions.
1990s' progressing te reo maori has been beautiful to listen to hear and to watch our mokopuna grow confident by day..the attitude to being Maori is 99.5% great until politics drive the conversation..
I saw that attitude slowly coming to your shores, by your youth..was still humble by comparison just different to that majority..then again we need leaders for change
just hope they protect the peaceful attitude your ppl have.
Our mums family carried that gift very well here in Aotearoa reminding us to be humble in how we think, what we do things and respectfully to our ppl..to be humble we learn to love unconditionally that's how I saw your whanau in Hawakinui n Tahitinui ngamihi aroha whanau 🕊⚘️🕊🙏🕊⚘️🕊🌿💕👋

My mom and sister’s family lived in Hawaii and I also stayed there for 1 1/2 years before I moved to the Mainland to seek better job opportunities. I love Hawaii and its entirety. I love to watch the Hula dance and music because it’s soothing to the spirit. I always love to go back to visit.

I discovered Weldon a few weeks ago and now can't hear enough of his beautiful music. I love how Hawaiians revere their music. It is some of the most relaxing and emotional and beautiful to hear. My wife and I visited friends on Maui a few times and Chriss always filled their home with this kind of music. I will never forget it. I was in paradise.

I would love to have been there to see the continuity of the Hula without all the cuts and closeups. The full movement is so beautiful. I think this song as done by Weldon and his group is one of the most beautiful of all time.
