Noho ana ke akua i ka nāhelehele
This Hawaiian mele pule (prayer chant) is a prayer specifically to Laka, goddess of the hula, for removing all hindrances (pule pale). It is performed in the oli> style, which is text recited without instrumental accompaniment or dance, by Brenda Lehua Hulihe'e (b. 1949), who is a student of John Kaha'i Topolinski.
