‘Ohana Sessions • Episode 10 • Kuʻulei Music • “Mele Tutu”

Kuʻulei Music’s is a pioneer of ʻāina soul—music that comes directly from the land, shaped by kuleana, and carried forward with intention. She is an embodiment of her kupuna and the living spirit of aloha ʻāina, using music not just as expression, but as responsibility.

Her lyrics, moʻolelo, and melodies are rooted firmly in the soil she tends and the ancestors who came before her. Kuʻulei’s work is both cultural and political—an honest voice for land, people, and future generations. She sings from lived relationship with ʻāina, from farming and caring for it day to day, and from a deep commitment to change grounded in ʻike and action.

Ku’ulei cultivates memory, language, and truth from the land itself, and offers her Mele to the hearts of our lāhui—so we can remember who we are, where we come from, and what we are responsible to protect.

Her new single “Mele Tutu” is a song for the Kupuna and the knowledge they carry—a reminder that ʻike is alive, and it must be honored, sung, and passed forward.

Kuʻulei will be debuting “Mele Tutu” live at Island Soul Session: Hoʻoilo 2026, an intimate acoustic experience rooted in soul-conscious roots music and collective remembering.
