Ke akua i ka uwalo i ka la'i e/'Eia o Kalani Kamanomano
Mary Kawena Pukui performs "Eia o Kalani Kamanomano" in a 1935 recording made by Mader on acetate disc (78 rpm). It is preceded by a mele ka’i (processional dance chant). The dancer and caller in this recording is Patience Namaka Wiggin Bacon. As with all chants performed in the mele hula style, this one is accompanied by dance and the drumming of the pahu and puniu.
