Mele Kohola is Hawaian  for “Singing Whale”.

Each year approximately 4,500 Hawaiian Humpbacks migrate from Alaska to breed, give birth, and bask in the warmer waters of Hawaii.

Kohola begin arriving in Hawaii in November, with the peak of migration and activity occurring in February and March. Scientists speculate that the whales use ocean currents, temperature changes, acoustical cues, and the Earth’s magnetic field to find their way to Hawaii (the most remote island chain in the world).

Most whales remain in Hawaii for 6-8 weeks, with some extending their “vacation” to late May or early June. At the end of their time in Hawaii, the whales return to the food-rich waters of Alaska to feed and replenish their blubber in preparation for their next journey to Hawaii.

Mele Kohola by Doxter S has captured the spirit of freedom, adventure, and love in this singularly moving composition that brings together native rhythms, natural sounds, and the overwhelming compassion we have for our fellow inhabitants on the planet.

Doxter S continues to produce some of the most memorable and heartfelt music available, bringing together catchy melodies, pulsing rhythms, and clever yet meaningful lyrics for what is to date a collection of 73 original songs available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.
