This song is about the continued struggle our Kanaka Maoli brothers & sisters face with the desecration of sacred land on Mauna Kea. I encourage you to learn more and support the protection of this sacred land and sacred land everywhere.
In honor of Mother Earth... Father Sky... and all indigenous peoples around the world... if you search deep enough you’ll realize that we are all indigenous to Mother Earth 🌍👁🌎 something we can all celebrate
LYRICS
I can hear the Mauna Calling
Spirit telling me I’m going all in
Aloha ‘Aina, mauka to makai, now
Ancestors giving us some light now
I can hear the Mauna Calling
Here we are in the future of the past now
Welcoming traditions that are passed down
From generation to our generation
Kapu Aloha in the face of desecration
To heal a nation and make a statement
We will protect all of the places that are sacred
We will protect all of the places that are sacred
I can hear the Mauna Calling
Spirit telling me I’m going all in
Aloha ‘Aina, mauka to makai, now
Ancestors giving us some light now
I can hear the Mauna Calling
We are here now to tell you our story
In every chant, every dance, every ceremony
Mālama Kūpuna and everyone
For the life of the land that we’re on
Trace our indigenous lineage
Hear it in the waves and the wind if you’re listening
It’s a universe that you’re envisioning
Too Many Telescopes - look within
I can hear the Mauna Calling (I can hear the mauna calling!)
I can hear the Mauna Calling (I can hear the mauna calling!)
I can hear the Mauna Calling (I can hear the mauna calling!)
I can hear the Mauna Calling (I can hear the mauna calling!)

"The Giver" is a song in honor of the mighty buffalo. It's passed through incredible hands and is a gift for you today. Enjoy and share the gift of giving with folks that you love.
A native elder once told me,
“Everyone is indigenous to Mother Earth.”
I thought to myself,
“Now that’s something we can all celebrate.”
1neLove, ya'll.

(bars)
I spit a COVID-16 with a flow that's so clean
Like sanitized gloves coming from a live stream
No, you couldn't find me in a quaran-so-tine
Off the grid, in the shire like Frodo Bageens
.
Just followin directions from the Government
Same one that got us strugglin, puzzlin
Hmmm.... no time to wonder
Stand 6 feet away or you'll be 6 feet under
.
Or you could look at it like this
Spending time with familia you missed
And all these extra kisses from your partner bringing bliss
Ya better best believe true solitude exists
.
So which wolf will you feed?
One makes you strong & one makes you weak
Are you goin loco or you divin deep?
But hurry, this virus - it spreads in 3s...
•
Much love to my wondaful partnah @ninguyu for filming 😘 #covid16s #covid16scypher
spit 16 bars over this beat and pass it to 3 of your homies...
tell them to pass it to 3 of their homies...
once you get it, spread it.
Express yoself during these wild times.
Hope ya'll are staying safe and sane out there.
Be inspired to keep creating.
1neLove familia.

“Journey to ‘Oahu to see frenz n fam, bathe up in her watahz and plant feet in sand... Journey, Journey On...
On da Road to Hana wit good company, Haleakalā beauty so serene... Journey, Journey On...
Went up to da Mauna just to take a stand, and I’ll stand by you no mattah where I am... Journey, Journey On...
Journey... Journey... but I nevah get weary yet!”
p.s. had to showoff the new piece by my bro too @vanz691 😜
☝neLove!!!!

also much love to the amazing Jimmy Cliff for the original tune "Journey"
My time on da Mauna granted me a deeper understanding of Aloha - unconditional love & respect without judgement, smiles, and open arms all around, & greetings with a Honi. My path weaved into the paths of many beautiful souls along the way. (Mahalo nui to my braddah Derwin for capturing the moment!)
I was honored to share a mele with those on the Mauna that day. Love seeing Aunty Pua and kūpuna dancing - the community feeling the music and intention. I will return again to stand by you all once again!!! So much more I can say, but I'll leave you wit dis...
1neLove to those still protecting Mauna Kea, Kapu Aloha always, much love to our Kūpuna, stay Pono, Aloha 'Āina and I’ll be sharing the Aloha I received with those i cross paths w/ going forward. and we will RISE... like a MIGHTY WAVE 🌊 KŪ KIA'I MAUNA!!!

@SendaiEra This is the 19th installment of an ongoing visual storytelling project. This weeks video features the musician and teaching artist from @totemstar, @sabyu.smooth. He is working alongside Chief Javi repping the Saipan to Seattle connection. We also had the chance to talk how some of their family history is linked to migration from the Philippines.

[Lyrics]
Plumerias Are Red
Da Ocean Stay Blue
I jus wanna know
I jus wanna know
Will you ride in my canoe?
[Sabyu]
I know dat red plumerias are rare
So when I find one ima place it in your hair
We'll feel da breeze as we sit along the beach
And feel da tide start ticklin our feet
Now won't you come with me?
We'll go n get lost at sea
But don't you know?
Da Ocean is our home
So it's right where we're supposed to be
See my Queen, it's the right time - right time
Everyday n every night time - night time
In our canoe, starin at the sky
Watchin stars align
[Chorus]
[Chief Javi]
Youse my Island Queen
I'm your island warrior
Come take a ride wit me
Here's your red plumeria
We gon' sail da sea
That's where we start
All day till it's dark
Navigate to your heart
And then we watch the sunrise
Feel your light brown skin
Look to your dark brown eyes
Island Queen
I wanna know one thing
I wrote you this love letter
Will you be mine forever?
[Chorus]
