Yes, Nick and Zach are wearing the same outfits because they had performed with Jonah earlier in the day. I actually didn't know who Keauhou were that year (they hadn't won their Hōkū Awards yet), so I took a break from recording when they were on stage because I wanted to do some shopping at the Made in Hawaiʻi Festival! I sadly missed out that year, but Iʻm glad I got this video of Nick & Zach dancing, called by Kelly Boy Delima, and their girlfriends on their right. Uʻilani the beautiful dancer in the long sleeves, became Zachʻs wife. Even before I knew who Zach and Nick Lum were, their dancing stood out, and I could tell they were in an established "competitive" hālau.
I saw this group perform at the Halekulani last week. I had a table one table from the middle of the stage. I felt so fortunate. They were outstanding!!!
Thanks for sharing! The group Kapena (The DeLima ʻOhana) has been around a long time. Actually, the father, Kelly Boy DeLima, was in the original group with Teimoni and Tivaini Tatofi in the 80s and 90s, and now he plays with his children and grandson, who have grown up before our eyes. Kapena is the sonʻs name and the grandson is Kapena-Uriah. Daughters are Lilo and Kalena. Kalaʻe Parish is Kalenaʻs husband.
Every time I see this video (which is one of my most popular videos with over 115,000 views), I remember that day with some regret. I usually go to two of the three days of the Made in Hawaiʻi Festival (which is where I began recording music videos), and my routine for most of both days is to watch and record the musical act in the Pīkake Room, walk across the Blaisdell Center, fighting the crowds to the arena to watch the cooking demo by chefs in great local restaurants and get to eat some great samples, and then head back to the Pīkake Room, sometimes stopping for the numerous free samples being passed out at booths along the way. Thereʻs usually about 10 minutes between the events (less if I stop to talk to the entertainers or if they play overtime), and I often have friends save a seat for me at the cooking demo, and I save my seat in the front row for the entertainment. This leaves me little time for shopping or trying samples of all the great products at the Festival (Itʻs the best in the Islands.) So that one Saturday in 2012, I looked at the schedule and I didnʻt recognize Keauhou, though they must have done something to be invited to perform at the MIHF -- Their first album was released in 2016. Since I didnʻt know who they were, I thought it would be a good time to do some shopping and not have to rush back and forth before the Kani Ka Pila Grille Talent Search, so I skipped watching and recording them! Maybe they had won the Talent Search the year before. Then Kapena performed in the evening and called up the Lum brothers and others to dance, and right away I knew they were really good dancers. I thought they were in Sonny Chingʻs hālau, but I eventually found out they were in Nā Kamalei! Itʻs also interesting to see that their girlfriends are also dancing next to them. Uʻi, with the long hair and the sweater, is now married to Zach. Now that Iʻve become such a big Keauhou fan, I really regret missing the opportunity to record them "back in the day" when they were just starting out as a professional group.
@@JodyY808 You have developed impressive strategies to capture footage for us! I can understand why you may not have been motivated to see more of Keauhou at the time. Most of us would have probably done the same. I've done some digging around too, and the girl next to Nick is his girlfriend, Lindsey. If they know about this video they can show their kids and grandkids one day. :-D
The kāne in yellow are Zachary & Nicholas Lum, who danced with Kumu Hula Robert Cazimeroʻs Hālau Nā Kamalei O Lililehua, and they stand out, donʻt they? They can really sing, too. The Lum brothers are now in the group Keauhou with Jonah Solatorio. They had performed earlier on the same day as Kapena so they were in the audience, but I missed recording them.
They are two brothers, Zachary and Nicolas Lum, who are in the music group Keauhou and dance with the hula hālau (school) Nā Kamalei Lllīlehua. Their kumu hula (hula teacher) is Robert Uluwehi Cazimero, a very famous singer and musician in Hawaiʻi. He and his brother Roland (who died in 2017) were the Brothers Cazimero.

The music sounded slaughtered - the dancer to our right in the green long-sleeve sweater did't even know how to sway her hips/move her feet. Love the original song sound. The guys and the young lady to their left were good! Kapena, if you want hula dancers - slow this beautiful song down. I'm sure Edith didn't intend for this song to be played as a 45 rpm.
So??? You obviously don't get it, Ka Uluwehi o ke kai, speaks of a day you spend with 'ohana picking limu, is that slow??? No, mele is interpreted all differently & if you look recent past, it's been played & sung fast & I'm sorry all these dancers are amazing. You don't literally exaggerate & sway your hips to every song you dance. Are you a better dancer or are you a cultural practitioner of any sort??? Don't hate
Research0digo like hula has always done it will evolve. hula in the time of our kupuna are not the same style we preform today it moved with time changing slightly.
Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai has always been performed up tempo in my experience. After all, it is about picking seaweed. And the choreography varies, depending on whom the Kumu is. Since this was spontaneous, the dancers are performing it the way they were taught.
I love the lady in the white shorts. She goes from the routine with the guys to the routine with the ladies with no problem.
All the way from Wairoa new Zealand ❤❤❤ fantastic thank you
I didn't realize the brothers from Keauhou danced and were students of Kumu Robert until I saw Nick and Zach in this video! Loved it!

totally agree...those guys are something else...smooth, cool, calm and collected. love it and love all the dancers!
Hapa's version will always be my favorite , but I like these guys a lot too.
