     Hula, or Hawaiian dance, is the spirit of Hawaii. If you don't know this dance you don't really know Hawaii. It is a lifestyle that binds us to nature and land. Hula was born as a way to adore the gods. It is accompanied by instruments that help keep the rhythm of dancers. Traditionally, pumpkins, bamboo canes and sticks are used to create music. Drums are made of pumpkin and most of the time two are used together. Today, guitars and bass are used to add depth to the sound and enhance rhythm.
