I am truly humbled and honored to have been a part of this movement. Mahalo and Congratulations to Mana Maoli, the artists and youth on being a finalist for the 2020 N Hk Hanohano Music Video of the Year - well deserved! #repost from Mana Maoli Please JOIN US in sending a big CONGRATULATIONS and MAHALO to our Mana Maoli Collective artists tagged below, and nearly 1,000 #ManaMele youth, crew and collaborators - by dropping a comment or emoji and sharing this video!... The final ballot for the 2020 N Hk Hanohano Awards is out, and we are humbled to have "Hawaii 78" as a finalist for Music Video Of The Year! Have you watched this from start to finish? Is this on your Quarantunes playlist? Trust us, you will not regret canceling all plans for the next 5 minutes - be sure to use ear buds or speakers! After Jason Momoa s song intro and Kaumakaiwa Kanakaoles opening oli, get ready as our artists and youth across 4 islands take you on a ride, with their rendition of this timeless classic, 40 years after it was composed by a young Hawaiian in High School. Please LISTEN to the lyrics - including the original Queen verse not heard in popular versions of this song. Over a year in the making, we hope this rendition, like the song itself, will inspire positive conversation, and change - within ourselves, and our ina & kai (land & sea). A huge mahalo nui to each of you, and to the HARA members who voted, and recognized the insane level of time and effort invested into this massive collab. Over the next few weeks, we'll be posting special highlights, exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes stories. Follow us on Facebook & Instagram and stay tuned
