It was developed in the Hawaiian Islands by the Polynesians who originally settled there. The chant or song is called a mele. The hula dramatizes or comments on the mele. There are two styles of hula. Ancient hula, as performed before Western encounters with Hawaii, is called kahiko. It is accompanied by chant and traditional instruments. Hula as it evolved under Western influence, in the 19th and 20th centuries, is called 'auana. It is accompanied by song and Western-influenced musical instruments such as the guitar, the ukulele, and the double bass. Hula is taught in schools called halau. The teacher of hula is the kumu hula, where kumu means source of knowledge.
