How do I pronounce the name 'Kuana Torres Kahele'?

Asked by frigate1985 (927points) February 2nd, 2016

He is a Hawaiian singer who sung the song called lava.
I’m not sure how his name is read though. Does anyone know specifically how to pronounce it?
I read it like, ‘koo-ana torres (as in Fernando Torres), ka-hell-eh’, but not sure if it’s right

The last name is most likely “ka-hey-ley”. The rest I think you have right.

Koo-ah-nah Torres Kah-heh-leh

There are no stressed syllables in Kuana or Kahele. It’s pronounced evenly.
