Some of the leading voices of the Hawaiian cultural renaissance, which began in the early 1960s, were musicians and singers. Their songs carried feelings that were yearning to be expressed throughout the island chain. Among the most influential groups of that era was the SONS OF HAWAI’I, led by Eddie Kamae, already famous for his ‘ukelele styling, and by the great vocalist and slack-key guitar virtuoso, Gabby Pahinui. Together with bassist Joe Marshall and the brilliant young steel guitar player David “Feet” Rogers.
This documentary, the seventh in the Kamae’s award winning Hawaiian Legacy Series, tells the story of a charismatic band. Spanning forty years of Hawai’i’s rich musical tradition, the film offers an intimate look at a unique group of performers and composers, their songs, their humour, their devotion to a sound that continues to convey something essential about Hawaiian spirit.

This is the story of three extraordinary Hawaiian women who helped revive Hawaiian culture when it was perilously close to being lost. It was a time when the monarchy had been overthrown, the Hawaiian language banned from public places and schools, and the Hawaiian heartbeat of hula forced underground.
Mary Kawena Pukui, ‘lolani Luahine and Edith Kanaka’ole combined commitment to Hawaiian history with art and aloha, to reignite the flame of tradition. Each planted seeds of the Hawaiian cultural renaissance. Kawena as a history and language expert, teacher and author, ‘lolani as a chanter, cultural icon and ‘high priestess of hula’ and Edith as a songwriter, teacher and founder of the traditional school of hula, Halau O Kekuhi.
The lives of these three great women are described through heartfelt interviews with people who knew and were influenced by them, along with wonderful archival footage collected throughout the years.

Those Who Came Before tells the story of a young Hawaiian 'ukulele virtuoso's journey of musical self-discovery and how it turned into a 50-year pursuit of Hawaiian cultural and musical traditions. The documentary pays tribute to the music of Hawaiians whose gifts of knowledge helped guide Eddie Kamae. His pursuit led him to some of the most respected gatekeepers of the Hawaiian Renaissance: the great author and translator Mary Kawena Pukui, the 'Songwriter of Waipi'o' Sam Li'a, 'Aloha Chant' author Pilahi Paki, and Hawaiian cultural resource Lilia 'Mama' Hale. One by one, they entrusted him with key pieces of Hawaii's musical heritage – inspiring him to understand, perform, and pass that heritage on to the children of Hawai'i. Those Who Came Before: The Musical Journey of Eddie Kamae, is the 10th documentary from Eddie and Myrna Kamae's celebrated and multiple award- winning Hawaiian Legacy Series.
