The Kumulipo, a canção da criação

Anotei esse nome durante o documentário sobre Evolução Biológica na aula de Zoologia dos Vertebrados, achei muito interessante a cultura havaiana, são 2.077 linhas cantadas durante, por volta, de seis horas por uma pessoa. Na música, primeiro falam sobre as formas de desenvolvimento da natureza, depois falam toda a ancestralidade dos principais chefes havaianos, um belo exemplo de cultura ocidental desconhecida. O mais importante ancestral é a Ilha! E os habitantes dela tem obrigação de cuidar dela.

Alohaina significa profundo amor a ilha, o profundo respeito e proteção à ilha. Aloha é a coordenação da mente e do coração dentro do indivíduo.

Deus é amor. Deus é aloha.

Seria isso um "salmo" na cultura deles?

É uma cantoria que tem rima, eles vão falando toda biodiversidade da Terra. Nasceu o parente, e bla bla bla, nasceu o parente, e bla bla bla, nasceu o parente, e bla bla bla.
