Nowelo I Kaua‘i Kuapapa

In Search of the Wisdom and Heartbeat of Ancient Kaua‘i

– Presented by Kumu Hula Kēhaulani Kekua

Nowelo I Kaua‘i Kuapapa is a cultural educational series which highlights Kaua‘i’s wahi pana, or storied and celebrated places, through mele pule, mele oli and mele hula – prayers, chants and dances that have been entrusted to the lineage of Kaipuwai. Kumu Hula Kēhaulani Kekua is a revered cultural practitioner and master teacher of traditional hula, born and raised on Kaua‘i. As the hiapo, or firstborn in her family, she was reared in the custom of hānai – freely given to be nurtured and groomed in hula by her maternal grandmother, Helen Kaipuwai Kekua Waiau. It is through her, that Kēhaulani inherited her family’s generations-old lineage and practices of Kaua‘i hula traditions.

Kaua‘i Community Radio is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and depends on the kōkua, or support, of listeners like you to stay on the air.  KKCR  is a gift paid forward by over 25 years of radically generous members and volunteers. If you’ve been listening for a while, but haven’t gotten around to donating yet, you can give the gift of great radio this holiday season by clicking “Pay It Forward.” Your one-time donation of only $10 stays on Kaua‘i and fosters meaningful connections in our community. Most importantly, your support keeps KKCR on the air – free to enjoy by the next new listener who hasn’t discovered the joy of giving back to KKCR. Kuleana has many meanings: responsibility, privilege, jurisdiction, interest, ownership, to name a few. Supporting this community resource is all of our kuleana, so pay it forward today. Mahalo nui loa for your kōkua.
