About the Artist
The understanding of hula lineage, the actual tracing of a dancer's history, is an important concept engrained in all members of Halau Na Kamalei by Robert Cazimero. It was in 1966 that he himself was introduced to the woman who would eventually teach him in the ways of hula. Aunty Ma'iki Aiu Lake was a prolific teacher of hula, with the desire that each person express all they hear, see, smell, taste, touch and feel through this form of dance...in other words, hula is life.
Robert's knowledge of music, chant and Hawaiian language provides a well-rounded foundation that is passed to the men who dance with Halau Na Kamalei. This training serves them well as they often sing and dance in concerts with Robert and his brother, Roland when they perform as The Brothers Cazimero.
The men of Halau Na Kamalei have performed around the world, from the stage of Carnegie Hall in New York, to Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, Tokyo, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle.
Product Description
The hula upbringing that kumu hula Robert Cazimero experienced as a student was not merely comprised of the dance itself. Hula class under the direction of Aunty Maiki Aiu additionally included the skill of blending voices together in song and chant. It is this tradition and training that Robert and the men of Halau Na Kamalei bring to their brand new release, RCHNK.
Listening to the songs on the CD, it is easy to visualize the moment that these special melodies were recorded...Robert Cazimero at the piano surrounded by the men of Halau Na Kamalei as they lifted their voices in song. This intimacy is often displayed when Robert and Halau Na Kamalei perform in performances around the world and at their annual fundraisers.
The songs and chants on RCHNK were composed primarily by Robert and former or current halau members. The talents of featured vocalists on several songs belong to Robert and Halau Na Kamalei haumana (students).
