Culminating a visionary work that began in 1989 and bridging two centuries, Grayhawk now presents the First Movement of his epic “Shamanic Journey (Continuous Mix)”: “A Tutu Pele Goddess”. Collaborating first with Hula Kahuna, Lokelani Kelau Kailipaka-Day , “A Tutu Pele Goddess” is a prayer and a song honoring the Hawaiian pantheon and celebrating our unity with each other and all of creation.
Inspired by the late Moki Day, one of the early and veteran activists of the Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement and the Pele Defense Fund, “A Tutu Pele Goddess” has now evolved into this remastered, newly released music video. The activism continues with the Protectors of Mauna Kea and our alliance with all of those worldwide working to defend and heal our entire biosphere from the forces of self-destruction, climate and ecological catastrophe and prevent the extinction of our existence.
