  • Two mainland kumu hula profiled

    http://www.nwfolklifefestival.org/fo...hawaiian-hula/

    This is from the blog of the upcoming Northwest Folklife Festival, and includes a five-minute video profile of two of the Seattle-area's kumu hula. One of them is one of my radio compadres, the other is my own kumu hula. (I appear briefly, playing my fretless bass `ukulele.)

    This is the 40th year of the Memorial Day weekend-long free festival. I used to produce local and national radio broadcasts from the event (1985-1998), and I've been back as a performer every year since 2001; this year, I'm in four groups (three Hawaiian music bands, plus leading a 35-piece amateur `ukulele ensemble doing an all-Beatles set).
