Aloha Lā Kamehameha! Today we commemorate our namesake, King Kamehameha I, through the voices of our haumāna. Here is a clip from the 2023 performance of PAIʻEA, a glam rock opera in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi presented by Kamehameha Schools Hawaiʻi Kula Kiʻekiʻe.PAIʻEA honors the chiefly lineage of our kula and celebrates the life and achievements of Kamehameha Paiʻea, the great-grandfather of Ke Aliʻi Pauahi. This powerful moʻolelo is brought to life with a contemporary twist, as a glam rock opera. It tells the story of the early life, trials, and triumphs of Kamehameha I, from the lifting of the Naha stone to the Battle of Mokuʻōhai, through the voices, music, and mana of our haumāna.This moʻolelo traveled all the way to Scotland, where haumāna performed at the world’s largest performing arts festival, Edinburgh Fringe.📺 Watch the full performance via the link in our bio!#KamehamehaDay #Paiʻea #ImuaKamehameha #ʻŌleloHawaiʻi
