Great news -- this event WILL be broadcast online tomorrow night for those who are not able to watch on PBS Hawai`i here in the islands! Details...:
For the first time in decades, the usually hushed chambers of Iolani Palace came alive with music and song, harking back to the days when King Kalakaua used to entertain there.
In a first-of-its-kind endeavor, PBS Hawaii filmed contemporary Hawaiian musicians performing at the historic landmark last month as part of its presentation, "Na Mele: Na Lani Eha from Iolani Palace."
The special program, produced for the public television station's live pledge drive, premieres 7:30 p.m. Monday, on Kamehameha Day, and features music from Hawaii's monarchy era.
The show features 14 songs performed by Hawaii's top musicians, including Cazimero, Kuuipo Kumukahi, Aaron Mahi, the Hawaiian Music Hall of Fame Serenaders, Nina Kealiiwahamana, Dennis and David Kamakahi, Helene Woodward, Marlene Sai, Haunani Apoliona and guitarist Jeff Peterson.
All the music came from compositions by King Kalakaua, Queen Liliuokalani, Princess Likelike and Prince Leleiohoku, collectively known as The Royal Four, or Na Lani Eha. |

Aloha,

Maybe I will drink a cup of coffee for the first time in my life.... thatʻs how much I love the songs of Nā Lani ʻEhā. And oh - to hear Haunani Apoliona! I am so inspired by her!
Yes, I am going to attempt this. Shouldn't be difficult as I suffer from insomnia anyway.

@ Auntie Maria, mahalo nui loa for the heads-up about this program!
@ Duke, you crazy but I appreciate the compliment, my dear, sweet friend! Hey, did you and Ramon get my email about our upcoming gig in Washington DC? Wanted to let the Aloha Boys know.
@ Andy, maybe I will go to bed at ten and set the alarm for 1:30am. Should I text you or will you kill me?  |

I want to watch but not sure if I can stay up. If I already drink a lot of coffee, then what?!?!
Thanks for the post. It is so nice to have the online broadcast even if it is in the middle of the night! |
