Aloha, I would like to share my mana'o on this song Koali. I was born in Hana, and lived with my grandparents in Koali. This song has so much meaning to me. My family and I sing and dance this song. Every time I hear Koali I think of my days growing up in this beautiful place. My grandmother, who we call Mama, always sang this song when she would go to a luau and even when she would leave to go home from a luau she would end her night singing Koali and gracefully dancing to the music. I also recall the words to this song were so much different then the way I hear everyone do it today. I am curious to know if there are two different words out there? And if so, which one is correct? Today, my family and I continue to sing the way my mama used to do it. I remember asking my mama how come nobody ever record this beautiful song and at that time, she said, it was not good because it was a song that was meant for luau singing and to just have fun. Mahalo for sharing and may this son g forever live in our hearts, for Koali holds so many wonderful memories to me and my 'ohana. Me ke aloha pumehana He aloha no Koali I ka nalu ha'i mai o kani wai Me na lipoa paoa ala Hanu ana hele ke la E ho'i i ka olu i ka hale loke I ka hale lau hala o ka iwa Kahi ana ia E walea ae Ku kila kila i ka lae la lae lae Haina ia mai, ana kapuana I ka nalu ha'i mai o kani wai Me na lipoa paoa ala Hanu ana hele ke lae lae lae |

Would you be able to tell me if they use "open tuning" or just plain CFC chords in this song? I love Hawaiian slack guitar and I'm trying to learn as much as possible, as difficult as that may be. However; I think it's worth it, the rewards are immense. Cheers! Victor |
