Kimo Alama Keaulana is one of Hawai'i's most respected and popular performers of traditional Hawaiian music. Self-accompanied on 'ukulele, his masterful falsetto can express the emotion of a sweet ballad or the sassy hidden meaning in a lively hula number.

Widely considered one of the best vocal interpreters of Hawaiian songs, Kimo understands the Hawaiian thinking behind the compositions. He is a natural stage performer and always "packs 'em in" wherever he plays.

An 8th generation professional musician, dancer, chanter, teacher, composer and entertainer, Kimo Alama Keaulana is a recognized authority on ancient and modern hula and its music. As a kumu hula (hula master) and renowned dancer himself, he knows how to play the music to accompany hula.

Known for his captivating laugh, wicked 'ukulele strum and sweet angel voice, Kimo Alama Keaulana is all the proof we need that hula and its music are alive and well -- that indeed “Hula Lives!"

The long-awaited recording, "Hula Lives!" by Kimo Alama Keaulana and Lei Hulu, has all the makings of a classic. When it was released in 2004, it was met with excitement by the hula community, and by all people who love good Hawaiian music.  Packed with 17 hula classics and a generous 20-page booklet of complete lyrics, translation and song history, the CD is a must on any collector's shelf.
