Kupaoa — An evening with Lihau & Kellen Paik and 3 hula dancers. EKK was honored to host these presenters in 2009 and they’re back for a repeat. Kellen Paik is a Kaua`i boy, hailing from Anini, who went off to college at UH and began playing with neophyte musician Lihau Hannahs. The pair did well — Kupaoa won a Na Hoku Hanohano award in 2009 for Most Promising Artist of the Year. Their extraordinary harmonies and the new music that they compose together is one of those rare “match made in heaven.”

E Kanikapila Kakou “Hula and Harmony” 28th season

featuring authentic Hawaiian music and hula of

Hawaii’s outstanding composers, kumu hula and performing artists

Kumu Hula Kehaulani Kekua, Halau Palaihiwa O Kaipuwai

Kauai Beach Resort, Nukolii (next to Wailua Golf Course)

Contact:  Garden Island Arts Council, <giac@hawaiilink.net>

www.gardenislandarts.org

An evening of hula with Kehaulani Kekua, Halau Palaihiwa O Kaipuwai. The halau is named for the palapalai hiwa or the highly cherished black-stemmed palapalai fern that only thrives in the pristine depths of the native Hawaiian forest. The hälau is also named for its founder and the different kumu hula of the family’s maternal lineage who also carried the name of Kaipuwai. Kaua`i’s ancient hula culture and traditions are unique and significant.  For Kumu Hula, Kehaulani Kekua, perpetuating her family’s legacy of hula is a responsibility and an obligation of honor. Her primary purpose is to perpetuate hula as a traditional discipline and art form of cultural excellence.

E Kanikapila Kakou “Hula and Harmony” 28th season

featuring authentic Hawaiian music and hula of

Hawaii’s outstanding composers and performing artists

Jeff Peterson and Chino Montero

Kauai Beach Resort, Nukolii (next to Wailua Golf Course)

Contact:  Garden Island Arts Council, <giac@hawaiilink.net>

www.gardenislandarts.org

Jeff Peterson and Chino Montero — two of the best guitar players in the state team for an evening of slack key. Chino Montero was the former lead guitarist for the Hawaiian band Palolo, he has performed and recorded with the best of Hawaii’s artists. These days, he records and plays lead guitar and ukulele on world tours with Amy Hanaiali`i. A surprise vocal solo, Manoa, by Chino on the recent Amy Hanaiali’i & Slack Key Masters of Hawa’i may be an indication of more vocals by this phenomenal guitar master.

Jeff Peterson has spent time with us at EKK in the past and he, too, plays with Amy Hanaiali`i as well as with other artists. Born on the Island of Maui, multiple Grammy Award and Na Hoku Hanohano Award winner Jeff Peterson grew up on the slopes of Haleakala, where he was introduced to the rich heritage of Hawaiian music by his father, a paniolo, or Hawaiian cowboy, on the Haleakala Ranch. His focus on Slack Key guitar, classical, and jazz music has allowed him to develop a unique and transcendent voice on the guitar while being deeply rooted in the traditions of his Hawaiian heritage. He has contributed to two Grammy Award-winning recordings and has been honored with three Na H?k? Hanohano Awards in Hawai`i.

His latest solo CD Maui on My Mind was recognized as the Slack Key Album of the Year in 2010. His latest release features his songwriting, performing, and producing on Amy Hanaiali`i and Slack Key Masters of Hawai`i. The groundbreaking recording features a collaboration between Jeff, Amy Hanaiali`i, Cyril Pahinui, Dennis Kamakahi, Sonny Lim and Chino Montero.

An evening of hula with Doric Yaris, Halau Hula O Hali’ileo. Persons fortunate enough to have witnessed hula by the members of Doric’s halau already know what they’re in for. It’s exciting, whether it’s kahiko or auana. This West Side halau continues to please audiences with its 25 or so men, women and children participants. Doric’s productions entertain and always, always, pay attention to style while honoring his hula roots. This EKK performance is extra special as Doric will be premiering his concert which he will take on tour to Japan immediately after the close of the EKK season. You can say, “I was there to see it.”
