The
sound of the pu or conch shell is heard as owner Kuiokalani
Gapero of Mamolii Productions opens this week’s Hawaii’s Wedding
Professionals. Set against the majestic mountain range of Koolau
Ballrooms and Conference
Center, host Kahu Kalehua Featheran begins by asking Kui to share a
little about his background and company with the viewing audience.
Originally
from Maui, Kui attended Kamehameha
School, where he started
dancing hula and he loved it so much that it became an integral part of his
life. In forming Mamolii Productions in 2008, Kui’s vision was to portray
his culture as best as he can with as much authenticity as possible in the hula
and dances of Tahiti and Aotearoa (New Zealand). Tune in to the
show to learn about the pu (conch shell), ipu heke (gourd), puili (split
bamboo) and uli uli (gourd rattle). Mamolii Productions offers vignettes
of 15 minutes to a full Polynesian Show, awa ceremonies, full sound systems,
conch shell blowers, lei greeters, bartending services and much more for both
wedding and other events.
Richard
Li of Kahala Limo drives up to meet Kalehua in one of his luxury cars – a 1985
Rolls Royce. He also has a Bentley, 2 Mercedes Benz and a Range Rover to
offer for any transportation need – for the wedding couple on their special
day, for airport/hotel/home pick up, corporate events, proms, Valentine’s Day
or even for a special dinner so clients can enjoy a night out on the town and
not worry about driving home safely. Richard feels his vehicles offer
another option besides a limousine that is more intimate and unique.
Viewers
must tune in to hear Richard’s story about how he received the opportunity to
change his life – fascinating!

the music you hear in the background of the interviews is being provided by
