If you were in a slack key kanikapila circle in Hawaii what are the standards that will usually be passed around?
From my experience the most common ki ho'alu standards that will be passed around the circle are the following:
a.) Opihi Moe Moe
b.) Radio Hula
c.) Ku'uipo Ona Ona
d.) Maori Brown Eyes
Practically every aspiring slacker I've met in Hawaii of every level have these songs in their repertoire. Mainlanders I've met through the net hardly ever have these 4 standards in their repertoire. I'm curious to know what you guys pass around on the continent. |

"Ulupalakua" is another tune most of the mainlanders I've encounter have in their repertoire.
The lack of slackers explains it Fran. The songs I listed aren't ukulele standards & that's a factor too.
@ Maliko-Too bad I'm so busy with tax preparations & extra security work. Otherwise I'd hustle a kanikapila in your honor. Sorry my bruddah |

Yes, those are all great kanikapila songs I am working on. Quite frankly even "I Kona" has depths to explore I am as yet only vaguely aware of...
...and don't get me started talking about Puamana or Pua Olena... |

As Kory says, we rarely have enough slackers around to form our own circle, so at a uke and dancer domninated kanikapila it's gonna be
a.) Koke`e
b.) Wahine `Ilikea
c.) Uluwehi O Ke Kai
d.) Hanalei Moon

Nice list! On Oahu for another week or so here. I've already been working on Radio Hula, I'll try the oda ones too on slack key fiddle.... |

Eh, Duke! Those were among the first dozen tunes I learned. Most kanikapila here have ukulele predominating. I usually play what folks want to sing or what Aunty is singing for hula. Good fun anytime! |
