A Hawai’ian singer reinvented the national anthem and it’s beautiful

The Star-Spangled Banner has stayed the same, with the same words and the same tune for 87 years, but a Hawai’ian musician reinvented the song while performing the song at a football game in Hawai’i and left quite an impression. 

The singer, who goes by Willie K., reinterpreted the national anthem by accompanying himself on the ukulele and singing the tune in an original melody of his own creation. 

Isn’t it nice to hear a new spin on an old creation?

Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja, whose Twitter account describes her as “singer, actor, model & anthem girl”, won a competition to sing at the start of the LA Galaxy vs. Seattle Sounders soccer match on Sunday.

Needless to say, she absolutely crushed it:
