The word aloha is much more than just a greeting---it has a deeper meaning that conveys cultural beliefs about how to treat others. This rhythmic original by Ruth Morris Gray celebrates the five traits of aloha, sung in Hawaiian, and then defines them in English. The two independent lines are a perfect fit when later combined. A few enthusiastic handclaps during the intro and interlude add excitement. Chord symbols are provided for optional ukuleles or sing with the island-inspired SoundTrax.
