I no longer live in Hawaii, and just recently discovered this video. Brings back so many fond memories of the Hawaiian people and their culture. Really lifts me up to be taken back to those good times.
Great job boys! That Hula Dancer is the epitome of Polynesian beauty. I wish girls like her would run for miss Hawaii, miss samoa or whatever it might be. She just exudes pride in culture and the beauty of the Polynesian women.
Such a beautiful blessing to see the beautiful and graceful Hula dancer. I love the voice of Keali'i and hearing his soothing voice with his musicians playing. Mahalo nui loa. Aloha ke Akua. Excellent ❤
I first heard this song in a music store in New Braunfels, Tx in 2002 and have been in love with this man's music ever since! I'm still learning the language and love the culture. This lady dancing is stunning! She is so graceful and beautiful. It proves that anyone of any size can do hula! That's one of the things that I love about Hawai'ian culture.....you are not looked down on or derided if you are not the "perfect size"!
I love this artist. My sister danced this song to my brother n law on their wedding day. A decade later I'm still listening to this beautiful voice E O Mai We two in the water The sighing waters of Kahualoa Hold back that driven current O my love, answer me Restrain those waters Surging wellsprings, stirring the heart Glide on those waters as they sparkle O my love, acknowledge me Then, release the torrent Waters of passion, burning the skin Indulge until you are satiated O my beloved, respond to me

Thank you for sharing this beautiful video and music with everyone. I was so moved while watching. Special thanks to Miss Henohea Kane. When listening and watching I was absolutely caught by her grace of movements and her facial expressions - to me it seemed as she poured all her heart and her emotions into her dance and into your song. So graceful, so lovely to listen and to watch. So beautiful, full of grace - Just AWESOME !
Aloha Keali'i Reichel, hula dancer, and everyone else responsible for the production of this beautiful "E O Mai." You all demonstrate the loving aloha spirit !!!! Lucky I was born and raised in here !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me ke aloha pumehana, Robert S.J. Hu October 24, 2020.
I love alternating this one with Josh Tatofi's cover. Different vocal styles that both put their unique touch on the song. This one doesn't have any vocal harmony which makes it simple yet enchanting in a different way.
,,,Yes Love this...Heard Keali"i yrs back in the 90,s ordered his record back in Boise,Id...been a fan long-time mahalo....Old guy in Oregon Now....8/2018
Such beautiful Ki Ho’alu. I sometimes play this beautiful music in the background whilst I'm doing other things, this music makes me happy. There are so many other favourite genres I like such as Cajun (e.g. High Life Cajun Band), Zydeco (e.g. Lisa Haley and The Zydekats), Bluegrass (e.g. The Petersens), Hillbilly (e.g. The Hillbilly Gypsies), Mountain Music (e.g. Mainers Mountaineers), Dixie Music (e.g. The Carter Family), Country Music (e.g. Willie Nelson, Randy Travis, Merle Haggard, Rosanne Cash etc) Australian Country Music (e.g. Troy Cassar-Daley, Lee Kernaghan etc.) Oklahoma Country Music (e.g.The Tractors), Beautiful Indonesian Music (e.g.Ismail Marzuki, Gamelan meets Orchestra), Beautiful Ambient Music (e.g. Fridrick Karlssen), English Folk Blues (e.g. Pete Stanley and Wizz Jones), American Blues (e.g. Leadbelly (Midnight Special) and Hoyt Axton (Cocaine) Big Bill Broonzy (Guitar Shuffle), I also like Reggae (e.g. Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff etc) ... and a polar opposite, I also love Chinese and Taiwanese Music (Jessica Ho, MUSA, OctoEast, Teresa Teng etc.) there are two singers called Jessica Ho, I think one is Korean but it's the Chinese one I like, she sings songs such as Wo Ai Ni. I also like many other singers such as Elvis (e.g. The Trilogy), Rod Stewart (e.g. The First Cut is the Deepest), Fats Domino (e,g, Blueberry Hill), Paul Anka (e.g. Oh Carol/Lonely Boy etc),, Helen Shapiro (e.g. Walking Back To Happiness etc), Max Merritt and the Meteors (e.g.Slippin' Away From Me), Billy Fury (e.g. Half Way to Paradise), Eddie Cochran (e.g. Three Steps to Heaven), Buddy Holly (e.g. Words of Love), The Beatles (e.g. Love Me Do/Hey Jude), Manfred Mann (e.g. Do Wah Diddy Diddy), The Hollies (e.g. Carrie Anne), The Everly Brothers (e.g. All I Have to Do is Dream), The Eagles (e.g. Take it to the Limit/Hotel California) The Shirelles (e.g. Will you still love me tomorrow), Fleetwood Mac (e.g. Don't Stop/Go Your Own Way) etc. and loads more, too many to mention. My very favourite Album is called 'To all the Girls' and it's full of beautiful duets, Willie Nelson and some of the best female singers such as Sheryl Crow, Rosanne Cash. Carrie Underwood, Norah Jones, Tina Rose and Brandi Carlyle etc. Out of all my above favourites, Hawaiin Slack Key is right up there near the top.
PolyTech TV That was his point! Body shape has nothing to do with being beautiful. She is a beautiful dancer... And not everyone who doesn't live in HI knows she's a miss aloha hula! Chill...
A beleza da musica somada a expressão delicada da dançarina é um verdadeiro "cafuné" p a alma!!!! Já perdí as contas de quantas vezes ja vi este vídeo!!!!
Me impresiona vívidamente la armonía de la musica y la confección tan sublime que existe entre el que canta y la mujer bellísima que danza. Son un deleite para la vista para los sentidos y para el alma😍☺️🏡

Pistol Panda spot on comment! I’m a Polynesian male that isn’t brainwashed. This wahine is beautiful
Pistol Panda She really is beautiful....
@laynie sammy n lilah Yes. 2009, I believe.
A beautiful smile.
Hell yeah! I would do anything to make that scream and moan!
I named my son Keali'i after this man 💙🌊
GOLDEN. WHAT A GREAT CHOICE. FILLED THE SPIRIT OF ALOHA AND HAWAI'I.
Such a beautiful blessing to see the beautiful and graceful Hula dancer. I love the voice of Keali'i and hearing his soothing voice with his musicians playing. Mahalo nui loa. Aloha ke Akua. Excellent ❤

E O Mai
We two in the water
The sighing waters of Kahualoa
Hold back that driven current
O my love, answer me
Restrain those waters
Surging wellsprings, stirring the heart
Glide on those waters as they sparkle
O my love, acknowledge me
Then, release the torrent
Waters of passion, burning the skin
Indulge until you are satiated
O my beloved, respond to me
This song will never get old for me. 💖
This song speaks to my soul and I don't even know what the words mean in English? Great music is just universal.
Don't think. Feel. I too...have no clue of the meaning...but the Hawai'ian Energy permeates the Universe.
It's based on a man and a woman in love.
Keali’i is one of my favorite Hawaiian singers. Love this song even though I can’t understand a single word.

As a dancer, I found Hula late in life, but have totally fallen in love with it! Henohea Kane is my idol Hula dancer!! Mahalo!
This is so beautiful. This amazing voice, this beautiful music, this gorgeous woman and her graceful dancing; my heart is melting.

You do not need to be thin model to be beautiful! Aloha
Michal Reich that’s Cherissa Kane, one of the best hula dancer. I don’t know what body shape has to do with hula.
Michal Reich p
No one said you needed to!😂
PolyTech TV That was his point! Body shape has nothing to do with being beautiful. She is a beautiful dancer... And not everyone who doesn't live in HI knows she's a miss aloha hula! Chill...
I wish I wish know who she is I would ask her to marry me she's so beautiful and kind Brave
