Funny Filipino Guy Doing Hula Dance
The story started on Wednesday Feb 15. – Robert Cazimero was the special guest on that night's Concerts at the Shops and I decided to help out in my ain trivial way past doing some alive social media postings on it. I did blog well-nigh the prove a few days prior, only because at that place are some responsibilities I have to do at abode, I knew I could only stay for the few offset minutes of the show.
And then Robert sang some songs and I shared i of them on my amauiblog IG . I was about to go out when Robert announced that he brought a guest Hula Dancer with him. Knowing that many loves HULA and my followers appreciate it when I post hula videos on my feed, I decided to stay a few minutes longer.
Piffling did I know that my decision to stay a few more than minutes, videotape the side by side hula and share it, will result in an amazing affair.
When the guest HULA DANCER came out to the stage, I was a bit surprised. Non merely was he a guy, he was really proficient looking (eye candy equally others will say 🙂) and he's got this sweetest grinning. And he is not in some kind of hula outfit – just a simple Aloha Shirt (really doesn't even fifty-fifty take the usual aloha print in information technology), Kakhi Pants and a white and blue lei (I am sure there is a name for the lei he is wearing but don't really know what information technology is called).
And and then I took the video. Thankfully I had the presence of mind of take the video in landscape for Youtube and also to record the whole dance. Usually I just take a one minute vid for Instagram.
Long story, short, I took the video, I shared apace on @amauiblog Instagram and My Own Maui Facebook Page. I thought it will become several hundreds likes and shares. But lo and behold it turned viral! … viral in the full sense of the Internet World! As of this writing it has gotten ane.6 1000000 views, 3,611,189 people reached and 16,323 shares on Facebook – 16 Grand Shares? Holy Molly! And in that location'southward no stopping it. The total version Youtube video is going viral as well. Here'southward the IG version that'southward existence shared around the world:
And then who is this guy? I institute out his proper name is Alaka'i Lastimado and he grew up on the Big Island, and now living on Oahu, Hawaii. Sure enough I started searching the net to notice out more near him. It turned out, he was here on Maui in 2014 and he too dance Hula every bit part of Robert Cazimero'due south TEDxMaui Presentation.
I also found out that we have many mutual friends on FB and Instagram. (Photo on TEDxMaui shared by Arthur Garcia)
Alaka'i works every bit a Flying Bellboy for Hawaiian Airlines. I remember Hawaiian Airlines should take advantage of this situation past creating another video of him dancing hula for their own social media promotion. Of course this fourth dimension they will have to pay Alaka'i talent fee. They might want to give him a raise as well because I am sure many will non book at Hawaiian Airlines simply to run across him 🙂 Oh, yeah, this is me thinking like a social media strategist… In his personal FB profile he has this photograph as a comprehend … I wonder if it was actually an ad for Hawaiian Airlines. I plant out it was actually a photo taken by Alaka'i's friend who is an cracking lensman, Rob. You lot can follow him on Instagram – he is @randomrob_ (awesome photos on is IG Gallery including some with Alaka'i as a model 🙂 )
It is and then tempting to lift photos from his Facebook to share here just I call back I won't do that.I am actually kinda concern that all of a sudden I have put him on a spotlight and now the individual life he used to know and had will never be the aforementioned. I am sure hither is getting tons of friends request on Facebook and Follow Request on Instagram. Sometimes being famous brings in a lot of pressure level. He did send me a couple of messages to take me for sharing and sharing the ALOHA to all. I think Alaka'i himself is an Administrator of Aloha.
And then what fabricated this video of him VIRAL? I recall it's the combination of then many things … aye, his good looks and mannerly smiling, his aloha spirit, his graceful hula, merely I believe a groovy part of it is too the vocal and voice of Robert Cazimero and the fun hula choreography. The combination of all of these and more made it so pleasing to watch, like and share.
In closing of this mail I'd like to share two more videos of him dancing hula.. One bone with a grouping during the Robert Cazimero performance at Blueish Note and the other is a Christmas Special (spotter and you'd find Alaka'i in that location and the whole bear witness is fun to watch). Yes, I'd be sharing a Christmas video in this post … afterward all, this whole thing of this Alaka'i's video going viral gives the warm feeling of Christmas 🙂
Mahalo for reading and sharing! Aloha and a hui hou!
