The 2023 Kū Mai Ka Hula competition weekend begins with a panel discussion with esteemed haku mele which includes, Kumu Hula Kamaka Kukona, Kumu Hula Pueo Pata, and Zachary Alakaʻi Lum & Anela Uʻilani Tanigawa-Lum, composers of mele Hawaiʻi, and facilitated by Maui’s own Kumu Hula Hōkūlani Holt.
In this special presentation we explore the various inspiration or personal muses that are essential to each when composing music, as well as, to those kumu hula who choreograph those mele.
