Standing in the snow wearing their “rubbah slippahs”, EKK Fans in coldweather USA (and other countries) are trying to recall the warmth of sharing music with their Kaua’i ‘ohana. Let us help them!

EKK Fans, you have been enjoying and learning Hawaiian music and hula for 37 years. Now it’s your turn to share what you have been inspired to create by sending in a video clip of your singing, playing the ‘ukulele or guitar, dancing the hula, performing with your own circle of musical friends in your own inspirational setting … be it on the sandy shore in Ha’ena, overlooking the canyons at Koke’e, standing on a bridge in Portland, overlooking a lake in Michigan, on a rooftop with a panorama of skyscrapers behind you, sitting on an ice cooler in your garage anywhere in the world. Share your talent – “Show Your Stuff!”

If you are interested in participating in this virtual collective in this “Year of the EKK Audience”, email giac05@icloud.com and we will send you the particulars in how you can be part of this virtual talent concert. Don’t miss the train! Email us right now!

Travel is not safe! Large gatherings will endanger many! Our Hawaiian musicians need to be safe and avoid large crowds!
E Kanikapila Kakou as we know it will be on hold until we can be safe to experience the music together.
