Dancing Hula to Hawaiian Lullabye
One of my first records with Hawaiian music that I brought with me to Sweden in 2004, was one with Brothers Cazimero. Upon my next stay in 2005, where I was introduced to Hula-dancing, I continued practicing on my own to the best of my ability. The first song was to this one - now with improved choreography I hope! Everything we can relate to with our heart, we can dance to.
