On December 10, 2019 our Kula Waena Nā Mele team took 1st place in the MS Division. Led by Kumu Kalima, Kumu Gapero, & Kumu Franco, our haumāna sang “Mālama Mau Hawaiʻi”, and “Lei Nāhonoapiʻilani” exquisitely; delighting the audience and especially the judges. Big mahalo and congratulations to our kumu, makua, and notably our haumāna.
