Kanbar Center for the Performing Arts at the Osher Marin JCC
2013 Summer Nights Outdoor Music Festival presents
Hawaiian Super-Group: HAPA
Saturday July 27, 2013, 7:00PM
(May 1, 2013 – SAN RAFAEL, Ca) Like the Hawaiian Islands themselves, HAPA's Pan-Polynesian music is an amalgam of influences ranging from ancient genealogical chants to the strummed ballads of Portuguese fisherman, Spanish cowboys, and the inspired melodies and harmonies of the traditional church choirs of the early missionaries. Add to this a dose of American acoustic folk/rock, and you have what has been described as, “[the] most exciting and beautiful contemporary Hawaiian music the world knows!”… (Maui Times).
These separate ingredients blended together musically in the Pacific emotes the unique flavor of what Hawaii and HAPA music is: “beautiful, fragile, spiritual, powerful”… (L.A. Times).
Often encapsulated as the “Sound of Maui,” HAPA’s music evokes a place that many people, at different times, have referred to as heavenly. The overriding quality of their music is one of beauty and serenity, found in the majestic tones of the oli (chant), mele (song), the elegant movements of the sacred dance known as hula, and the exhilarating innovative sounds of virtuoso slack key guitar.
The evening will open with a Hula dance performance and lesson offered from Halau Hula Na Pua O Ka Laakea .
The beautiful and safe Swig Field is surrounded by Marin hills and begs for picnicking, but will offer the choice of purchasing delicious as well as affordable meals on-site from San Rafael’s own Mauna Loa Hawaiian BBQ pop-up Restaurant. No alcohol is allowed to be brought in, but is available for purchase.
The theme is Hawaiian Islands, and audience members are encouraged to wear their favorite Hawaiian shirts.
The Marine Mammal Center hosts the Kid Zone, offering up an art project and ocean education alongside the playground for youngsters. A Georgi & Willow pop-up shop will offer festival shopping and add to the full Marin community experience.
Special guests will include Marine Mammal Center and County of Marin employees.
