Description:
|
Hula competitions are unquestionably the focal point of this long-running Big Island tradition. For over forty years, Merrie Monarch has brought a week of culture, music, food, and dancing to Hilo. Both historical (Kahiko) and modern (Auana) versions of the hula – a Polynesian combination of dance and chanting – are performed in exhibitions and contests, culminating in group competitions at week's end. Hawaii's last king, David Kalakaua, is the monarch of the festival's moniker. |
