To open and welcome the new year in Hawaii on Thursday 6th January 2022, we invite you to share Hawaiian songs or songs about Hawaii. Wear your aloha shirts, mumus, leis, and other colorful, flowery clothes that you’d wear in Hawaii.
To start the new year, we transition to concert-format, so that we can see the performer, his/her hands/fingers, and ukulele on the full screen. This means that eventually we will not be sharing screen or scrolling song sheets. Please check out the links to song sheets below.
Here is a compilation of Hawaiian songs from an in-person song session. Are there others? Here are some suggestions, in alphabetical order:
