Music inspired by the Windward side is nothing new, but the recent Na Mele Ko’olaupoko – an original song composers contest at Windward Mall – proved it.<\/p>\n

Of the 19 mele entered in the competition, eight of the songs had their roots in Ko’olaupoko and were judged winners.<\/p>\n

Coordinated by Ko’olaupoko Hawaiian Civic Club with sponsorship from the mall, and Hawaiian Electric Co. and its charitable foundation, the September event awarded cash prizes of $1,000, $500 and $250. The winners and their divisions are listed below.<\/p>\n

* Professional: Kaneohe’s Del Beazley, first, for Kahalu’u Night<\/I>;<\/p>\n

Waima-nalo’s Cyd Kamakea, second, for Kahalu’u’s Crying<\/I>.<\/p>\n

* Amateur: Ho’opono Wong, first, for Pu’unui <\/I>(speaking of an area legend); Kaneohe kupuna Gwen Lee, second, for Na Mea Waiwai o Ka ‘Aina<\/I>; Kaneohe’s Nalu Kay, third, for Keep Country, Country <\/I>(pre-serving Windward Oahu).<\/p>\n

* Hawaiian language: Cyd Kamakea, first, for Ka Ua Kilihune <\/I>(dedicated to Windward Oahu kumu hula Al Barcarse); Kaneohe’s Kawena Mechler, second, for Puakahi <\/I>(about her home); and Kailua’s Joseph Iokepa DeSantos, third, for He Mele No Ko’olaupoko <\/I>(about the area’s 11 ahupua’a).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
