NEW RESOURCE:

"SuperRugby is the Southern Hemisphere's pre-eminent rugby brand, featuring 15 teams from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina and Japan. It is followed by The Rugby Championship contested by the All Blacks, Pumas, Springboks and Wallabies."

Before I begin to follow updates from this site next week, here is playlist of 24 "Classic Matches", along with announcements of upcoming matches. Note that there are actually 77 matches listed in the playlist. However, many of the actual matches are no longer available. This implies that these matches are not available for an indefinite period. As yet, I have been unable to figure out what that period is.

CULTURE--Americana--Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian--Hawaiian and Peruvian Performances (1 link to 7 videos, 3 videos)

All of the below listed performances took place in 2013 or 2014.

1. Hawai'i

May 20: NMAI has recently added a Playlist on Hawaiian Music Highlights.

Kūpaoa Perform "Kaha‘ealeiakalewa"

Kūpaoa is an award-winning husband and wife musical duo. The lovely voices of Līhau Hannahs Paik and Kellen Paik have delighted listeners and audiences for almost a decade, starting out as musicians who shared stages with friends and each other, and then joining seven years ago as the duo Kupaoa, which has since become a solid institution in the field of Hawaiian music. Here they perform "Waimanu I Ka Lauoha" as Nā Lei Hulu I Ka Wēkiu dance.

Nā Lei Hulu I Ka Wēkiu, founded by Hula master Patrick Makuakane, who is well known for his innovative choreography. His work is grounded in the traditions of hula, yet he is has also developed a unique style, called hula mua, that uses modern music to provide a whole new dimension to the dance. 

Kūpaoa Perform "Waimanu I Ka Lauoha"  Nā Lei Hulu I Ka Wēkiu Dancing

Nā Lei Hulu I Ka Wēkiu Dancing to Louis Armstrong

By the year 1916 Hawaiian Music was outselling everything else in the mainland. Even jazz great Louis Armstrong  recorded a Hawaiian album called "Jazz Goes Hawaiian."  In the  twenties, thirties, and forties, Hawaiian musicians were experimenting with a new kind of musical genre, everything from jazz, pop, and the big band sound. Here Nā Lei Hulu I Ka Wēkiu dances to Louis Armstrong and His Orchestra's version of "Hawaiian Hospitality" and  "If I Could Be With You."

Amy Hānaiali'i' Gilliom sings "Hanaiali'i Nu La Ea"

Amy Hānaiali'i' Gilliom is Hawai'i's top female recording artist. Her music is an exceptional blend of classical training, modern musical influences, and cultural heri¬tage. She received four Grammy nominations for Best Hawaiian Music Album, and fifteen Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards (Hawai'i's equivalent to the Grammy). Hānaiali'i's second album, Hawaiian Tradition, placed her on the Billboard World Album charts, a first for an album written solely in the Hawaiian language. Hānaiali'i' is officially Hawai'i's music ambassador. In this video, she sings "Hanaiali'i Nu La Ea."
