Experience a “Sing-Along with Mele Fong” class as Mele on ukulele and husband Rich on u-bass led students in playing twelve Hawaiian and hapa haole songs about the Hawaiian Islands of Maui Nui (includes islands of Molokai, Lanai, and Kahoolawe) as the song lyrics and ukulele strums and chords were projected on the large screen at Kaunoa Senior Center for adults 55 and better on Maui. We toured Maui and sang songs about places on the island, singing each song once and learning the stories behind the songs in keeping with Hawaiian oral history traditions.
Mele wore a lauhala hat woven by her grandfather and adorned with a hat lei resembling the pink flower and color of Maui. Mele’s long colorful muumuu complimented her Hawaiian attire for the island.
The theme of Maui Nui songs for the month of May observed the first of May celebration called the Lei Day Festival held annually at Hale Ho’ike’ike at the Bailey House. Since 2015, the Maui Historical Society has been presenting the event on May Day, whatever day of the week it falls. May 1, celebrated around the world as a worker’s holiday and festival in spring, is known in the Hawaiian Islands as Lei Day.
The one-hour Sing-Along Maui Nui Songs class was taught on May 16, 2024, with 29 students signed up.
