This Mele Kahea is used when a hula dancer wanted to enter the halau, the place where hula is leanred.  It was a calling to the Kumu as a reqeust to be heard and be ready to receive instruction.  The Mele Kahea goes back quite a ways in Hawaiian History.

"You will be living in the haole time, and the wise thing to do is to move with the time, because time is a thing that belongs to no one....There's only one thing I ask of you, my children - You are Hawai'i, and I would appreciate that you remain Hawaii"
