🌿🎸 Dennis Kamakahi — “Kalama” (Live on the Lawn, 2010) In this Live on the Lawn 2010 performance, Dennis Kamakahi shares the story behind “Kalama” and then lets the mele speak for itself. Just voice and kī hōʻalu, steady and unhurried, with the lawn crowd listening in as he traces the journey of John Kalama from Hawaiʻi to the Pacific Northwest. “Kalama” honors John Kalama, a Native Hawaiian who left Maui in the mid-1800s, traveled with the Hudson’s Bay Company to the Oregon Territory, and eve

Dennis Kamakahi — “Kalama” live at Slack Key Show, Napili with Chino Montero 🎸 A stage-side look at Dennis telling the story of “Kalama” with Chino Montero on second guitar. The song honors John Kalama, a Native Hawaiian who came to the Pacific Northwest in the 1830s, married into the Nisqually community, and gave his name to the Washington town of Kalama. Hearing Dennis sing it in this room connects that history to the present, with Chino’s harmony lines and steady backing lifting the melody.

Dennis Kamakahi — “Pua Hone” (Live at Don Quixote’s) A solo acoustic moment with the Reverend Dennis Kamakahi at Don Quixote’s in Felton, California (2010). Dennis introduces the song with that warm, familiar storytelling voice before easing into the melody—just him and his guitar. The performance is intimate and unhurried, with the kind of steady, nahenahe pulse that makes the room go quiet. “Pua Hone” (Honey Flower) is perhaps Dennis’ most enduring love song, written for his wife, Robin. It ha

Happy Halloween 🎃 Dennis Kamakahi & Stephen Inglis — “Kōkeʻe,” live in ʻEwa Beach, Hawaiʻi (October 28, 2012). Two guitars, one voice, and that calm, unhurried pulse Dennis was loved for. Stephen’s lines sit right inside the beat, answering the melody and lifting the chorus so the lyric can do its work. “Kōkeʻe” is Dennis’s ode to the uplands of Kauaʻi—mist on the pali, wind in the trees, and the feeling of returning to a place that holds your heart. On a fall night like this, let it roll and b

Happy Aloha Friday! 🌺 Enjoy this performance from the FIRST episode of Nā Mele that aired back in 1999, featuring Dennis Kamakahi, George Kuo and Martin Pahinui.

🌿🎸Dennis Kamakahi with Stephen Inglis — “Kōkeʻe” (Pakele Live, 2010) A love letter to the uplands of Kauaʻi. In this 2010 Pakele Live set from the Pakele Lounge, Dennis Kamakahi lets “Kōkeʻe” unfold at an easy, steady pace—voice and kī hō‘alu right at the center—while Stephen Inglis weaves in clear, supportive lines on second guitar. It is all feel and space: the bass like a heartbeat, the treble like mist lifting off the ridge. “Kōkeʻe” is Dennis’ signature mele for the high country above Wai
