"Word play! It's what makes a good mele," shares Kainani Kahaunaele in the Visual Liner Notes of Lei Pahapaha on Ka Haku Mele. See how she weaves limu (seaweed) and Kaua‘i together while questioning ones intensions into her song. kahulileolea.org
Ka Haku Mele, features 12 new compositions aimed at demonstrating the unique attributes of this cultural practice. Unlike traditional albums, each recording is accompanied by visual liner notes - a video in which each composer provides educational insight on the haku mele process. Together with written lyrics and translations, Ka Haku Mele is an audiovisual exhibit that gestures toward a next step in the Hawaiian language revitalization movement: fluency in mele vernacular.
The visual liner notes will premiere at Kāhuli Leo Le‘a’s Facebook page (Facebook.com/kahulileolea) and added to their website (kahulileolea.org) Monday, Wednesday and Friday’s throughout the month of September at 6:00pm starting Monday, September 5, 2022. The written lyrics and translations can be viewed at kahulileolea.org.
Ka Haku Mele is now streaming on all digital music platforms. Enjoy the entire project at kahulileolea.org. This project was made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services.
