Wahine Ilikea (Dennis Kamakahi ukulele cover)

Details

Description

One of my favorite Hawaiian songs, written by Rev. Dennis Kamakahi. Mahalo to Diane for videotaping this song at Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden. I'm playing an Ana'ole ukulele with sound holes in the shape of the Hawaiian islands, built by Gareth Yahiku.
