Drawing from legends of the Hawaiian music renaissance like George Helm, Gabby “Pops” Pahinui, Dennis Kamakahi and The Sunday Mānoa, I invite you to immerse your spirit in the sound of “old Hawai’i” as I offer song and story in the “nahenahe” (sweet sounding) fashion of my kupuna (elders).Looking forward to seeing you folks on the road and bringing the beauty of Hawaiʻi to you in concert!

Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes (Music-Lyric Video) Makana Music 2020-08-05 | “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes” is a song released by internationally acclaimed, Hawai’i-based recording artist, composer and activist Makana, in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan that occurred on August 6 & 9 (respectively) 1945.It is composed by Makana and Kayko Tamaki. The recording features a vocal performance by the Kwassui Girls School Choir. The lyrics are bilingual (English and Japanese).The story of Sadako is world renowned. A native of Hiroshima, she was only 2 years old at the time of the bombing. She miraculously survived and grew into what seemed to be a healthy youngster at the age of 12. One day, while running track and field at school, she collapsed. Doctors determined she had leukemia from exposure to radiation caused by the atomic bomb. While in the hospital, Sadako was inspired by a traditional Japanese belief that said one’s wish would come true if they were to fold 1000 origami paper cranes. While in the hospital, Sadako folded cranes with all her strength. By the end of August 1955, Sadako actually went above and beyond her goal of 1,000 folded cranes-she actually folded a total of 1300 cranes! When Sadako passed, her story reached her town and eventually the entire nation. Hiroshima city honored her with a statue that stands to this day, and Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes has become a children’s story known throughout the world as a tale of hope and peace for a world without the threat of nuclear war."Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes" can be downloaded here: makana.bandcamp.com/track/sadako-and-the-thousand-paper-cranesLYRICS:Sadako was only 2 years oldOn the day the atom bomb explodedIn a sea of fire all aroundMother found her baby on the groundBlack rain fellMixed with tearsAs they fledFilled with fearKONO INORI O KIITEこの 祈りを 聞いて(Listen to this prayer)TSUBASA O HIROGE翼を ひろげ(Spreading its wings)HEIWA NO SENBAZURU平和の 千羽鶴(One thousand paper cranes of peace)WATASHITACHI NO YUME O NOSETE私達の 夢を 乗せて(Carrying our dream)Sadako grew up a happy childFor her friends she always had a smileBut a silent sickness grew within herFrom the day the bomb exploded near herNow she fallsTo the floorTen years afterThe warKONO INORI O KIITEこの 祈りを 聞いて(Listen to this prayer)TSUBASA O HIROGE翼を ひろげ(Spreading its wings)HEIWA NO SENBAZURU平和の 千羽鶴(One thousand paper cranes of peace)WATASHITACHI NO YUME O NOSETE私達の 夢を 乗せて(Carrying our dream)Gracefully she tries to hide the painAs her fingers fold a paper craneFolding cranes until her final hourAs she prays for life with all her powerSadakoRest in peaceHelp us toBring world peaceKONO INORI O KIITEこの 祈りを 聞いて(Listen to this prayer)TSUBASA O HIROGE翼を ひろげ(Spreading its wings)HEIWA NO SENBAZURU平和の 千羽鶴(One thousand paper cranes of peace)WATASHITACHI NO YUME O NOSETE私達の 夢を 乗せて(Carrying our dream)KONO INORI O KIITEこの 祈りを 聞いて(Listen to this prayer)TSUBASA O HIROGE翼を ひろげ(Spreading its wings)HEIWA NO SENBAZURU平和の 千羽鶴(One thousand paper cranes of peace)WATASHITACHI NO YUME O NOSETE私達の 夢を 乗せて(Carrying our dream)Music by Makana Lyrics by Makana and Kayko TamakiNihongo Advisors/ Translators:Aya NagoshiBon MooreMiyoko Niimi Yumi FujiiChie TakahashiAnnie BernsteinSpecial thanks to:Mr. Yoshiro Yamawaki, Hibakusha, Pledge for Peace Representative, NagasakiMasako Toki, Middlebury Institute of International Studies, MontereyDr. William Potter, Middlebury Institute of International Studies, MontereyToshiro Kusano, Teacher and Peace Learning Department Advisor, Kwassui School, NagasakiTakafumi Iwanaga, Dean, Academic Affairs Division, Choir Director, Kwassui School, NagasakiThe Students of Kwassui Junior & Senior High School, Kwassui Choir, and Kwassui Peace Club, NagasakiKazuya Okubo, Director at Nagasaki Atomic Bomb MuseumAmbassador Yasuyoshi Komizo, Chairperson of the Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation, Executive Director of Mayors for PeaceCynthia Lazaroff, Founder of US-Russian Exchange Initiatives, NuclearWakeUpCall.EarthOriginal artwork by Chris LumCover design by MakanaLyric video by Kyle Kosaki
