Humu Mo'olelo Hula Arts Vol 1 No 1 George Na'ope 'Iwalani Kalima Merrie Monarch

Description: This is the premiere 2006 edition of "Humu Mo'olelo - Journal of the Hula Arts." The publication was founded by George Lanakilakeikiahiali'i Na'ope, who writes in the preface, "Inside this publication, you will meet many of these practioners, ko'u mau hoaloha, past, present and future, who love the hula and have committed much of their life to studying, practicing, and teaching the dance and all of its related arts. I hope that these stories will help readers understand why people study and practice hula and other Hawaiian cultural arts and the time-honored training and creative ideas that inform those practices." Featured are interviews and short autobiographies by kumu hula Na'ope and his students, who became na kuma hula, 'Iwalani Kalima, Edward Etua Lopes and Ray Fonseca. An important interview conducted by Doris M. Purdy with Na'ope talks about the early years of the Merrie Monarch Festival and how it grew to become the pinnacle event for hula world-wide today. This 128 page book is packed with historical information and photographs. A photo of the table of contents is included with this listing. This soft cover book is in very good condition. It has some bending with the cover and minor wear with the pages from use. This is a rare and special find. Mahalo nui for reading and looking!
