About The Artwork

First exhibited on December 11, 2016, at The Tonga Hut in North Hollywood, California, for their Tiki Wonderland XI event. 'Mele Kalikimaka' [pronounced mɛlɛ kəˌlitiˈmɐkə] depicts old Saint Nicholas himself, reclining in a hammock between two coconut palms, sipping a nice tropical drink, with Rudolph the red nose reindeer nearby, and lots of Holiday Magic on Christmas Island with cherished friends.. "Mele Kalikimaka" is also a Hawaiian-themed Christmas song written in 1949 by Robert Alex Anderson. The song takes its title from the Hawaiian phrase Mele Kalikimaka, meaning "Merry Christmas". The phrase is borrowed directly from English, but since Hawaiian has a different phonological system, Hawaiian does not have the /r/ or /s/ of English and its phonotactic constraints do not permit consonants at the end of syllables or consonant clusters"Merry Christmas" becomes Mele Kalikimaka. One of the earliest recordings of this song was by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters in 1950 on Decca 27228 (78 rpm) / 9-27228 (45 rpm) and it has been covered by many artists. The song is present in the films L.A. Confidential and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. The Beach Boys recorded a song of the same name for their album 'Ultimate Christmas', but it contains lyrics and music completely different from the song written by Robert Alex Anderson.
