His work is grounded in the traditions and fundamentals of hula, and he labors to keep traditional dances intact as they have been for generations. He has also developed a unique style of hula (called hula mua) that uses modern music to provide a whole new dimension to the poetry of hula.Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai’i, Mr. Makuakāne began dancing at the age of 13 and went on to study with some of Hawai’i’s most recognized hula masters, including John Keola Lake and Robert Cazimero.To find out more about Patrick Makuakāne more visit https://naleihulu.org

He joined forces with Saddle Road Productions to form a collaborative group called Eō. Their response to the pandemic is the haunting first single off the album of the same name, Hānau. (Hānau the album will be released later this year.)
Hānau is an epic creation chant chronicling the birth of the Hawaiian Islands, as told by the Hawaiian historian Kahakuikamoana. It establishes genealogical ties with the ancestral homelands of Nu’umea, Hōlani, and Tahiti.
The ancient story is woven into a mesmerizing soundscape that swells with a hypnotic urgency; a compelling blend of tradition and innovation that leaps forward in surprising ways.

Hānau means born; to give birth. It also represents the nascency of Eō; and, in a sense, a call for a new beginning. Eō means to call; to answer. We respond with a creative collaboration that builds upon the foundation of our ancestors, celebrating their spirit of innovation and adventure.
Ours is a safe environment for creativity. We work with individuals to promote culture, healing and a positive message.
