An Evening of Hawaiian Music: Hawaiian singer Kaumakaiwa Kanaka'ole with guitarist Shawn Pimental

January 17, 2018 - 7:30pm

"The Voice of Hawaii's Next Generation"

Kaumakaiwa brings to the stage an immense talent as a singer, chanter, and dancer as well as a deep understanding of her Hawaiian culture and her place as a modern, transgender (mahu wahine) Hawaiian in this contemporary world.

She seamlessly melds Hawaiian culture and modern sensibilities, with songs that draw from ancient ‘oli (chant) traditions, contemporary melodies, and original mele (lyrics), in deeply powerful music. With plenty of humor, she often provides wry commentary and stories to give context to her songs.
