Source: Honolulu Star Advertiser

I did not realize that Keali'i Reichel, one of the best contemporary Hawaiian musicians, in my opinion, was also an accomplished kumu hula (teacher of hula). His halau (hula school) took the overall title at this year's Merrie Monarch Festival! (See my previous blog post for information about the annual Merrie Monarch Festival.)
