The “Nā Lei Hulu I Ka Wēkiu Dancers” had been touring various venues in SF, and once at the Apple Store, they spread out across the entrance and the glass staircase. Moments later, they were gone again, leaving the crowd to return to their perusal of expensive shiny objects.

Na Mele Hawaii is sung expressively and the attention to detail in the language would suggest that this group was from the Islands and not from St. Paul, Minnesota.

Listen to samples:

Hawai’i Aloha

Lei Gardenia

Nāmolokama Lā
