Koke'e

Song Lessons • 12m

This week's lesson is on the song Koke’e, written by the Reverend Dennis Kamakahi. The lyrics are located in the Resources section. It speaks of the beauty of Koke’e, a national park located on the island of Kauai. It’s a great song to learn as a beginner due to the easy to finger ukulele chords. There’s only 3! A true testament to the talented songwriter that the Rev was known to be... a master doesn’t need much to write a song that touches the soul... and a master he was. Mahalo Rev, for all the beautiful mele that you gave us to remember you by.
