Historical Kona - Stories & Songs
from a Kona Native
With
Rolinda Bean
Program & Music
Rolinda Bean was born and raised on the island of Hawaiʻi in the district of Kona, the place she calls home.
For many years she has served the community as a cultural practitioner and an entertainer. She has worked closely with Kumu Keala Ching on cultural projects such as the creation of a music CD, “Pili Mau i ka Poli,” to benefit Nā Wai Iwi Ola Foundation, established by Kumu to perpetuate Hawaiian language and culture. Like Kumu Keala, she was inspired in her youth by Loea Kawaikapuokalani Hewett.
Daughter of Lillian Matsumoto and Robert Bean, Rolinda is connected by her moʻokuʻauhau (genealogy) to several significant families of Kona, including the Kunewa and Kanuha ʻohana.
Rolinda shares stories that are significant and relevant to the population of Kona, both Native Hawaiian and non-native.
All of these stories are expressed and supported in Mele o Kona - songs of Kona. Rolinda finds special joy in sharing music. “We seek healing through music,” she says. “It brings people together to create memorable relationships (pili mau i ka poli).”
Kumu Keala offers this testimonial: “A beautiful songbird of Kona indeed, she enchants people around the world with the soft melodies of ke Akua (Higher Power).”
Some songs of Kona which may be included in this Sunday’s program are:
Kona Kai ʻŌpua – Kona, extending from Hualālai within the district of Kailua Kona to the beautiful district of Hoʻokena
I Kona - Identifying the district of Kona as a place that welcomes and honors the newcomers (Malahini mākou iā ʻoe)
Beautiful Kona - Newly composed mele, speaking about the beauty of Kona from Hualālai, ʻŌpua clouds gently blown by the ʻEka wīnds, and the chief of Kona protecting Kona.
In addition to singing, Rolinda accompanies herself on ukulele.
