Pōmaika‘i Lyman | NĀ MELE (full episode) | PBS HAWAIʻI
Ойын-сауық
Singer/musician Pōmaika‘i Lyman grew up under the guidance of a talented musical family, the Keawe Aiko ‘ohana. Her special mentor was none other than a beloved and legendary voice in Hawaiian music, her grandmother, Genoa Keawe. Lyman steps into the spotlight in this episode of our traditional Hawaiian music series. She’s accompanied by Po‘okela Wood on guitar, Keao Costa on bass, and Jeff Au Hoy on steel guitar. Lyman’s family and friends also share the stage to perform songs including “Beautiful Kahana” and the popular hula song “Noho Paipai,” also known as the “Rocking Chair Hula.” Lyman’s family brought some of Aunty Genoa Keawe’s furniture to our studio to bring a sense of mana and a feeling of home.

WOW LOVE IT.
What a blessing she was to her tutu. You could see it in Genoa's face when they sang together - the pure joy, and the pride. God bless the Keawe ohana.
Pomaika'i is a blessing to Hawaii. I grew up listening to her grandmother on Kahu radio. Im so glad she got the voice and the beauty to carry on.
Absolutely beautiful. Discovered Pōmaika'i Keawe Lyman recently on the Moonlight Mele Concert Series. Have followed her story and performances ever since. Am so grateful Pōmaika'i and others of her generation are keeping the music of yesterday as authentic, alive and fresh as ever.
Thank you for beautiful Hawaiian music. Mahalo
What a wonderful video. I am not usually a great enthusiast of falsetto singing, but I thought this was exceptional. Beautiful singing by Pomaika'i and the supporting group. I also found myself listening intently to the fine piano playing of Jeff Au Hoy, as well as his excellent qualities on the steel guitar. And a lovely, loving tribute to Aunty Genoa!
Beautiful Hawaii music 🎶 wonderful singing 🎶 i love listening to them they're so amazing and humanizing ❤❤❤❤🎸🎸🎤🎼🎹🎸
Takes me back to Hannah Buddah days... when we all had to learn HAWAIIAN words and music, some , pidgin (broken English too, as long as we respect our Kupuna (elders and Kumu Hula Teachers.. when parents had to work hard in earning what we have today.. there is so much to be “Mahalo” (thankful) no KA oi. .. May our heritages legacy and music perpetuated and touch global relatives too.
I am an admirer of Hawaiian culture, since I was 18 years old, and I have discovered that this culture is based on love. They do not know how much I enjoy the music, as well as the voices and especially the artists of these magical islands.
Just when you think she can’t take it higher, she raises it another octave. GOLD
That is a beautiful testimony of how family is a part of you, and you, them! Bless you!
This Young Lady has so much Class . 🤙

Love it. She sounds just like her grandmother.
I used to live across from Genoa 50 years ago. Those were the days....
Pure love and family
She is her Tutu's Mo'opuna and gifted

You have a great time I see it
Your Grandma, Auntie Genoa Keawe, was born on Halloween.....I was born 3 November
Too bad that the Merriott decided to get rid of the Thursday Genoa Keawe Family. They also got rid of George Kuo and Aaron Mahi on Sunday nights. These folks are like getting rid of Poke or malasadas or plate lunch. Beautiful music and folks would come and dance and sing with the groups. They kept the spirit going as long as possible. When our venerable slack key performer and teacher, Uncle Saichi Kawahara passed, the family of Aunty Genoa came to say good bye in San Francisco. I'm 81 and my mother introduced me to Auntie Genoa when I was a very little girl as she was a dancer of hula. I loved the 78's we had of Alekoki and others. I wore them out.
