Hawaiian Legacy Foundation: Eddie & Myrna Kamae

Eddie Kamae and The Sons of Hawaiʻi perform Forest Songs tape 2

Eddie Kamae and The Sons of Hawaiʻi (Braddah Smitty, George Kuo, and Joe Marshall) perform one last take of the instrumental version of "Sweet Hāhā ʻAi A Ka Manu," a song about a native Hawaiian flower (lobelia) on which native birds feed. Normal and instrumental versions of "Nānā Mai," a song about the Happy-face spider, are also recorded. There are shots of the nearby scenery while the band continues to sing.
