Connecting the land and community through songs, musicians, and the stories that they carry

Mele & Moʻōlelo is a storytelling music series featuring musicians and storytellers in our community and beyond to share in ancestral knowledge and the ʻāina that has influenced the direction of their moʻōlelo. These stories provide windows into pieces of history which breathes that EA back into this ʻāina. Then continuing to flow through us from the passion of musicianship and richness of the local families connection to their ʻāina momona. This is an effort to create new and exciting ways for education, collaboration, and outreach to touch the lives of more individuals throughout the paeʻāina.
