Well done contemporary Hawaiian song and dance
Hawaii: Songs of Aloha. 2000. 76 minutes.
Many outstanding and well-known Hawaiian musicians and dancers each do a song or dance or two. Recorded in front of a big audience in Honolulu.
The music and dance is all good.
At the end, a choir of kids from a performing arts high school in Hawaii takes the stage. Many of the older performers are graduates of this school.
My only gripe is with the camera work for the dances. For just songs, it doesn't matter, as all you have to do is hear them. But on the dances, the camera operator seems to think *he* is creating the performance by filming a few seconds of one dancer's face, a few seconds of another dancer's lower body, a few seconds of the singer, a few seconds of a musician, a few seconds of the audience . . . and when it's over, you haven't seen the dance.
7/10.
