Kau ka hali'a I ka manawa / Kaulīlua I ke anu Wai'ale'ale (medley)
Noenoelani Zuttermeister Lewis (b. 1945) and her daughter, Hau'olionalani Lewis (b. 1966), of Kane'ohe, O'ahu, are descendants of the hula pahu tradition of Samuel Pua Ha'aheo (1886-1953). Here they perform mele ka’i (a prayer chant that accompanies a processional dance) in the hula pahu style, in which they accompany themselves on the pahu and puniu drums.
