Hula kahiko „He mele no Harry Maitey“
Who was he, and how did he end up on Peacock Island? What traces did his life leave behind? The association “No ka Hoʻomanaʻo Ana Ia Berlin e.V.” is organizing a special tribute to Harry Maitey. The hula kahiko “He mele no Harry Maitey” (A Song for Harry Maitey) is a narrative dance in the “old” style of hula, which dates back to traditions predating contact with Europeans. Since 2012, the association has been guided and supported by several Hawaiian kumu (teachers) in the preservation of Hawaiian traditions. Furthermore, it is committed to the traditional and contemporary culture of Hawai‘i in accordance with the guidance and support of the kumu hula, thereby fostering intercultural exchange with Hawai‘i.
