Aloha guys! Iʻm back after a break away. I hope everyone is enjoying the Lilo and Stitch Comic book series. New issues should be coming out soon. I created a YouTube mini series for readers to dive deeper into the themes and Hawaiian values in the storyline. #Kuleana www.youtube.com/live/7kRd8sh...

As we return to the world of Lilo and Stitch, I remember hearing this song for the 1st time. I later learned about its performer and writer Mark Kealiʻi Hoʻomalu, Kumu hula at the Academy of Hawaiian Arts who is now my favorite kumu known for his revolutionary style.
