Kaua i ka huahuai / Hawaiian War Chant

Kaua i ka huahua'i

Looks like we might have a bit of cleanup to do with this song. There's a video of the original version from 1913 on YouTube now, and upon first listen, I don't hear any difference between this and the version written by Johnny Noble. All of the instrumental versions are under Johnny Noble's adaptation rather than the original (including several I've added today - I added them there due to label credits), but I'm not sure that there's any difference melody wise between his version and the original from 1913...

What are everyone else's thoughts on this?

Michael,

I think you're right. Johnny Noble only jazzified the song a bit and was clever enough to publish it.

The first recorded version was re-released in 1919 as by the Hawaiian Troupe

I moved the two instrumental versions I added to the original work. I guess I should file an error report about the others since I can't move them?

All instrumental version have now been moved to the original Kaua i ka huahuai....

And the error report was closed.

Thanks, Joop and Oldies!
