2018 Christmas Concert

We sang 16 songs and told stories behind the songs during our 45-minute Hawaiian Style Christmas Concert held inside instead of outside Kaahumanu Church due to the threat of rain. We were fortunate to have 6 dancers from Na Hula Kupuna O Kaunoa dance to 6 songs.

Paradise TV (the Visitor Channel) led by Bob McIntyre filmed and produced a short video of The Hawaiian Serenaders singing Mele Kalikimaka with hula dancers that is on Mele’s YouTube Channel and website.
