It’s ok honest mistake

Yeah that is Robert Kekaula but im not talking about him. Im talkin about the one when your staring at Arlo to the left is Charlie Kealoha. The one on the rock. And yes i know its him cause thats my dad

It’s Robert Kekaula

Thank you!

I’ll add Charlie’s name right now.

Pahinui! My grandparents were close friends with Arlo Gunthrie and I’ve met Cyril Pahinui at E Hula Mau 2009. Good people

From “Alice’s Restaurant” to Waimanalo..
Well ..this is one free soul.
LOve this song.
Thanks for posting
Peace & Aloha

Eh Peter, you are right. I was not very pono in what I said. I apologize to anyone I offended by saying I did not think Arlo has sufficient mana to pull off this song. You are correct that Cyril would not have done it if he thought Arlo was not pono.

Thanks for keepping me on the straight and narrow.

Me ke aloha,
Auntie Wanda

The fact that someone would show disdain (especially a Hawaiian) to Arlo Guthrie “A Haole” singing Waimanalo Blues is sad. If CYRIL PAHINUI; a man who knows & understands the music (especially this song) is accepting of Arlo, then why can’t you all? Trust me, I know Cyril and if he were to deem something like this “unfit” then he wouldn’t be playing. The fact that someone would bash another musician playing a certain song based on his race is unethical and not very “ALOHA”

Dwnhllr1959 you sound like a clueless Haole transplant to the islands.This rendition a joke & I (1/2 Hawaiian)find it offensive!!! Arlo Guthrie promoting Hawaiian music??Give me a break hahaha.Unless of course you mean Hollywood’s perception of Hawaiaiian music.If you want to hear real Hawaiian music that we Hawaiians want to see associated worldwide as Hawaiian music check out my YouTube vids.FYI wjc1952 is educated in Hawaiiana & it’s you who don’t know JACKSH*T!!!

Oh for GODS SAKE – wjc1952 – get the H*LL over yourself, willya?? Just KEEP your ‘mainlander haole’ attitudes ON the mainland…we don’t need OR want your holier-than-thou CRAP here in Paradise….OK??

Arlo was bridging musical styles AND introducing LOTS of folks to Hawai’iana – what the H*LL have you ever done…except make useless comments about kama’aina folks (or ‘mana’) you know JACKSH*T about….

For jguth3 – thank you SO much for finding and posting this gem!

Waimanalo blues is a very powerful song with much mana. I am a mainlander haole and I frankly do not feel the same mana when Arlo plays and sings this (technically very well) as opposed to someone who is a kama`aina. Blah Pahinui can blow you away with this song. In addition to Cyril Pahinui playing slack key, who are the other players? Should give attribution to the other musicians as well. For Hawaiians, playing together like that, kanikapila, is a GROUP effort.

Mrs. G,
Is that Brother IZ playing the uk? (on Arlo’s left side)
