To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Merrie Monarch Festival, Pūpū A ʻO ʻEwa proudly presents Kahoʻolemanaʻs photos of hula in its everyday form: at practice, hula festivals, protest rallies, backyard pāʻina, professional performances. As our Merrie Monarch, King David Kalākaua, said:
Hula is the language of the heart and therefore the heartbeat of the Hawaiian people.”
