Ahe Lau Makani by Dennis Kamakahi | Hawaiian Classic Mēle

“Ahe Lau Makani” traces back to Queen Liliʻuokalani around 1868. The mele’s imagery likens a soft breeze to a loved one’s breath, an idea the Queen herself translated in her published verses. It appears historically under the earlier title “He ʻAla Nei e Māpu Mai Nei,” and references Līlīlehua—the gentle rain of Pālolo Valley, Oʻahu. Dennis recorded “Ahe Lau Makani” for his solo album Puaʻena (Glow Brightly), released May 21, 1996. His rendition keeps the song’s unhurried sway while highlighting the lyric poetry at its heart. As Dennis explained in the album notes, the “breeze” is figurative—“the breath of one who [is] admired, carried by the wind”—and he first fell in love with the piece via The Sons of Hawaii.
