About the artist
Keali'i Reichel
Kumu hula, singer and composer from Maui, born in 1962, who carries the Hawaiian oli and the hula lineage he was trained in. Oli is chanted prayer, a way of speaking directly to the ancestors and to the spirit world, and he founded the hālau Ke'alaokamaile to teach it. On stage he sets that inheritance beside his own contemporary Hawaiian songs, sharing what is meant to be shared and keeping the rest where it belongs.
“Through physical connection to ‘aina our environmental and cultural kinship is rekindled and re-established.”Keali'i Reichel
