Description
🎶 Enjoy Dennis Kamakahi’s “Kōkeʻe” — Hawaiian lyrics with English & Japanese translations 🤙
Dennis’ signature song Koke’e honors his special spiritual area. “On most of the islands I have a place where I’m inspired to write, but in Koke’e it’s like my soul has been there before.” This song has become a de facto anthem for the residents of the area. “The first time The Sons of Hawaii did it there, we had the whole town of Waimea singing along and dancing to it. Each halau (hula school) was dancing it in their own style. I’m glad I got the feeling I wanted to convey over to them.”
Featuring rare 2010 footage from our friends at Slack Key Show - Masters of Hawaiian Music (via their YouTube channel): Dennis Kamakahi, Richard Ho‘opi‘i & Ken Emerson on lap steel.
