I would love to find out the song used on this video. I don't have a youtube or google account to ask the poster and I do not want to set one up (for other reasons). So if you know it please let me know, or if you would be so nice as to ask the poster of the video using your youtube account. I would appreciate it.

Thanks

I listened to the first few minutes and heard nothing but waves, so I got bored and shut it off. Maybe you can let us know at what point in the video the actual music starts?

It's called "Mokupuni Nui" (Big Island). It was written by Keith Haugen in 1978. The version of it in the YouTube video (about Lihuʻe, Kauaʻi of all places) was performed by Ledward Kaʻapana and it's on his 2006 "Grandmaster Slack Key Guitar" album. Here are the uncorrected lyrics to it, along with a rough translation…

Kaulana, ka mokupuni o Keawe
Kilakila, na mauna ki`eki`e
Ha`aheo i ka makani a `o Kona
E Hawai`i, ka `aina o kahiko

Hawai`i nui, ka `aina o ka Mo`i
`Aina uluwehi i ka ua a `o Hilo

Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Ka mo`oleo o ka mokupuni nui
Ho`omana`o ('ia) i na mele a me na oli
E Hawai`i, ka `aina o kahiko

E Hawai`i, ka mokupuni nui
.

Famous, the Island of Keawe
Majestic, the highest mountains
Proud in the winds of Kona
Hawai`i, the land of old

Big Hawai`i, the land of the King
Lush land, in the rain of Hilo

Tell again the refrain
The story of the Big Island
Remembered in songs and chants
Hawai`i, the land of old.

Hawai`i, the Big Island

Jonah has always been a Hawai'i go-to guy, since long before you joined CDF.

Personally, I'd like to see him around more often. Maybe we could get something like the Bat Signal rigged up, to call him when needed.

I knew it was Ledward Kaʻapana's voice, but I didn't know the song. I saw him perform live in MN. He and a couple others braved our below zero weather and come here a couple times for a slack key concert. I hope I can find out if they come here again, I missed the last one because I can't find a website for any concert tours, if anyone knows one let me know. Even the venue he performs at doesn't announce it too far in advance. Thanks!

Thanks, nice site. No concerts here in flyover land, but I will keep checking since it's only scheduled through the end of the year.
