Angela Morales: Best Coast

Throughout Na Leo’s musical journey, we’ve come across many different people, Hawaiian artists and cultural experts, if you will.

Me‘e means “hero” in Hawaiian. Thirty-four years ago, I was given this name by Henry “Baldy” Van Gieson after being sculpted out of a koa tree. Since my creation, however, I’ve become convinced that the real heroes are not wa‘a (canoes) like myself but rather their caretakers. My caretakers are the paddlers of Leeward Kai […]
