Just us as we celebrate Mele with a free local documentary film screening!

Those Who Came Before: The Musical Journey of Eddie Kamae pays tribute to three remarkable teachers that have guided Eddie Kamae: the great author and translator Mary Kawena Pukui, the “Songwriter of Waipiʻo” Sam Liʻa, and “Aloha Chant” author Pilahi Paki. One by one, they entrusted Eddie with key pieces of Hawaiʻi’s heritage – inspiring him to understand, perform, and pass that heritage on to the children of Hawaiʻi. This 57-minute film is suitable for ages 7 and up.

Free documentary copies will be provided, while supplies last.

Mahalo to The Hawaiian Legacy Foundation for generously sponsoring this film screening event and for their gracious donation of film copies.
