Holo Mai Pele

Holo Mai Pele

Every culture has its defining myth: Hindus have the Mahabharata, the Greeks the Homeric Odyssey. For native Hawaiians, perhaps no myth is more central than the story of the Fire Goddess Pele and her enduring rivalry with her sister Hi’iaka. Six years ago, the renowned dance company Halau O Kekuhi began the ambitious undertaking of assembling and recreating the legend for modern audiences, translating it to the contemporary stage by combining the traditions of Hawaiian chant and hula with innovative elements of Western theater.

ʻŌiwi TV reaches across generations, socio-economic statuses, and geographic locations as the sole media venue where the Hawaiian language, culture and perspective thrive. Through Digital Channel 326, ʻŌiwi TV reaches over 220,000 households across the entire State via Oceanic Time Warner Cable’s network. Through its website, mobile, and social media venues, ʻŌiwi TV is reaching Hawaiians everywhere and engaging a generation of Hawaiians that expect to access anything and everything from anywhere at anytime.

    Would like to view Monarchy Palace Commemorative Event held within last year. Evern Williams was involved.
    Also, ideas about tuning into Hawaii live music from the Continent (Texas).
    Mahalo & Aloha,

    The best appreciation of chant and Mele is tending to be with the kapuna. The older we get, the more difficult to learn Hawaiian language and to know what the chants translate to. WHY NOT ALWAYS INCLUDE SUBSCRIPTS? The wonderful language is still heard, why keep the lyrics during a great show like, “holo mai Pele” a secret, limiting understanding and appreciation???
