dc.title Performance Finding Aid: Kent Ghirard & his Hula Nani Dancers w/ Myrtle K. Hilo, 2005
dcterms.abstract This performance was arranged by HPS at the request kupuna Kent Ghirard, leader of the premiere 1950s hula troupe, the Hula Nanis. He reassembled a small “alumni group” after HPS honored him and his Hula Nani legacy at the Waikiki Shell in 2004, and together we embarked on an Oʻahu nursing home circuit for several years! Uncle Kent wanted to bring his dancers to Lunalilo Home, in particular, because two of his former musicians were living in the care home, namely Ann Machado and Nora Santos. Talented and kolohe entertainer, Myrtle Kahea Hilo, joined the group this day as a special musical guest. Music for the performance was provided by Paʻahana’s Doug Tolentino, Pakala Fernandes, and Kaipo Kukahiko, who notably donated their time and talents for every community performance Uncle Kent and his dancers gave, until his passing in 2011. Deep gratitude to Paʻahana for their generosity and dedication. This Finding Aid is but a small sample of the performances in the HPS Archive.
