New Kilohana Hula Show to be modern version of iconic Kodak Hula Show

The Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement and Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi announced the debut of the new Kilohana Hula Show on Thursday, which is scheduled to launch on Feb. 15 at the Tom Moffatt Waikiki Shell. The free, hour-long show will be a modernized version of the old Kodak Hula Show, that aims to return authentic Hawaiian song, dance and culture into the Waikiki venue.
