Transcript
"We're the voices behind the face of the Hawaiian nation, the Hawaiian race. Rise to justice -- the day has come for all our people to stand as one." Aloha, my name is Jarret Delos Santos. I'm also known as Kumu Kealoha: 'Kumu' meaning 'Teacher' and 'Kealoha' is my middle name, meaning 'Love.' And I was born and raised here on Maui in a little town called Hana on the east side of Maui, about 52 waterfalls away from here. I love the ukulele -- found a lot of popularity with people wanting to learn. Playing the ukulele and teaching the ukulele gives me a chance to perpetuate our culture, by teaching people how to play the ukulele, and also teaching people the language -- the Hawaiian language. And I'm able to do both of that. So today, we're going to be talking about the ukulele.
