专辑简介

Thereʻs an ancient Hawaiian saying that goes, "i ka ʻōlelo nō ke ola i ka ʻōlelo nō ka make" which basically means, in the language there is life, and in the language there is also death. Words can heal and words can destroy, at the center of any culture is the language. My responsibility is to perpetuate the language which I do by writing songs. That which inspires me to write is dance...

Hula, the Hawaiian art of dancing, to me is at the center of the culture as well because in it, is the livelihood of our people. To be able to recall stories from the past, visit places far away, we can share this all through hula, and again at the center of hula, ka ʻōlelo. Be it, hula, ori Tahiti, siva, or bachata, dance brings the culture to life and is for me, what drives and inspires my work.
