Hawaiian Word of the Day
kālāʻau = percussive sticks used in hula dancing
We talk story with Daniel Chun, Director of Sales & Public Relations in Hawaii for Alaska Airlines, recently named Airline of the Year.

In this Maui podcast, Diane Woodburn speaks with Daniel Chun, Director of Sales & Public Relations in Hawaii for Alaska Airlines.
The sounds of hula kahiko, the oldest style of Hawaiian dance, are deep, resonant and hypnotic. In contrast to modern hula (which is typically accompanied by Western-derived stringed instruments, such as the slack-key guitar or ‘ukulele), ancient hula is purely percussive. Hula kahiko dancers often make their own music, and, as I discovered while watching Hula Hālau ‘O Kamuela, the sounds are as significant as the movements. The creation and mastery of traditional hula implements is both an art and a sacred practice passed down through generations.

Any visitor to Maui has surely encountered the Islands’ most prodigious species: Gallus gallus domesticus, aka the chicken, or moa in Hawaiian. Literally anywhere you go, a moa is there.
This regular chicken traffic means I have become very familiar with their chatter, especially that of the roosters, who are arguably the most garrulous. According to my observations, there are two distinct chicken squadrons across the way, and possibly on all of Maui: the Neil Sedakas and the Spigurkeys. I divined this fact by listening repeatedly to their crowing (and at all hours of the day or night — because roosters cannot tell time), which is either, Neil-Se-DAHH-Ka! or Spi-GURRR-key! (Listen for yourself; I guarantee you will hear one or the other.)
