About TEDx:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
The Spirit, the Word and the Deed. It's all there inside each of us. Isn't it nice when someone this "Gifted" comes along and let's ours' out to play?
Love you Makana, wise beyond your years. You're a mystic Man.
...a talented performer-his story on the origins of slack key is the best explanation of the way Hawaiian "think" I have ever heard--Mahalo Makana.
Check out "The fire is ours" by Makana :)
Makana is an earth angel....a gift to the world....to me, his voice is reminiscent of John Denver, but more than that, his unusual and brilliant guitar playing and that exquisite voice takes me to a transcendent experience and when he shares his heart, it is truly divine! You are BIG, Makana and the world needs you.
Wow! I will watch and listen a few more times...it stopped me in my tracks. Thank you! 🌟🌟🌟
Your words of wisdom have just reminded me why I love you so much. You music and angelic voice speak for themselves. Mahalo nui for sharing this video. . . and for sharing yourself
Can't wait for the new CD! Mahalo
Palpitations to my core, as always ... from your music and your message, ko'u hoaloha. Mahalo nui loa a me pomaika'i nui pau'ole. See you at The Kahala w/as many guests as possible!

Makana, Guitars in the Classroom LOVES YOU!
So Kool great
Mahalo Nui....Awesome
He performs at the Kahala Hotel when in Hawaii
This might sound strange to some, but there's some of Nick Drake's musicianship in this guy. What do you think?
Maybe even Luka Bloom & he's even inspired by ND.
Kevin Barry Moore is a pretender.
Neil Aspinall - Barry (luka Bloom) is a well established artist with many cds & a huge fan base. So then how is Barry (Luka Bloom) a pretender??
Sending lots of aloha your way
Lol. this guys great. I like the second song a lot 🌚🌝
What is the name of the second song?!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!
What is the name of the last song he sings? Amazing expression of being Makana is!
Aole, Poho dis guy!
9 minutes he finaly fucks the fuck up and plays the guitar.
+johnebgood108 it's a talk show you moron
Jus press brother aloha from maui no ka oi
What is the name of the song played blindfolded?
I think it's a medley of multiple songs. I think I there's some of "Napo'o Ka La" in there.
Open Mic night at TED?
Funny how he uses filter delay, which makes the instrument sound doubled, to enforce his own supposed "natural" effect. Also, the blindfold? Who cares. i've been playing guitar for 9 years and i can play blindfolded too; it's just a showy thing.
just shut and play, Makana...
Seriously? This is TED TALKS...not a concert. Go to his channel to hear his stuff. What I like most are his political views. And, as someone mentioned that 2nd song is killer!
i met him. i think he is Hawaii's greatest musician.
Mark Wittkowski He's a racist
Mark Wittkowski And by that I mean he's a human who try's to find love in outrage.
+Jizz Fudgsickle That's not racism
See what happens when "its ok to be gay"
Die to all that, and then begin to live...that's what Jesus said. Better to tune in to God...just sayin...and stay away from Oahu.
