Kahua ‘Āina x Prowlanu

We approached Keanu Wilson of Prowlanu with the vision we had from a beloved mele. Ke Ao Nani, a Hawaiian song that many keiki learn, to teach them the different parts of our world. Written by Mary Puku’i, Ke Ao Nani speaks of 4 different realms and the flora and fauna that dwell within them. Mahalo nui Keanu, for bringing our dreams to life!

I luna lā i luna
Nā manu o ka lewa
I lalo lua i lalo
Nā pua o ka honua
I uka lā i uka
Nā ulu lāʻau
I kai lā i kai
Nā iʻa o ka moana
Haʻina mai ka puana
A he nani ke ao nei
He inoa no nā kamaliʻi

Up, up above
Birds fly in the sky
Down, down
Flowers of the earth
Upland, up in the uplands
The grove of trees
In the sea, the sea
The fishes of the ocean
Tell the refrain
Of this beautiful world
In honor of the children
