Inspired by the Aina Aloha Economic Futures declaration and Huliau Statement, Hawaiian Airlines May Day 2021: Mākaʻikaʻi will take viewers beyond the aesthetic pleasures of song, dance and storytelling. The program supports an ʻĀina Aloha Economic Future by having viewers experience “mākaʻikaʻi”, visits to endeared places, shared by “kamaʻāina”, those who are deeply rooted in these places. Enjoying mele, hula, and moʻolelo––in the ways only kamaʻāina can share––promotes an economic future of Hawaiʻi that finds success only through “aloha ʻāina”, a deep and abiding love for the places and people of Hawaiʻi.

Keauhou, the 17-time Nā Hōkū Hanohano award winning group, returns to headline the concert experience with special guests, Robert Cazimero and his Hālau Nā Kamalei o Līlīlehua,Manu Boyd, the Haʻehaʻe girls, Ka Lā ʻŌnohi Mai o Haʻehaʻe under the direction of nā Kumu Hula Tracie and Keawe Lopes, Hālau Mōhala ʻĪlima under the direction of Kumu Hula Māpuana de Silva, and host, Billy V.

Join the celebration on May 1st, 2021 at 6pm HST on Facebook Live and broadcasted on KGMB.
