Kanbar Center for the Performing Arts at the Osher Marin JCC
2014 Summer Nights Outdoor Music Festival presents
Hawaiian Super-Group: HAPA
Saturday July 19, 2014, 7:00PM
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).
The evening will open with a Hula dance performance and lesson offered from Halau Hula Na Pua O Ka Laakea .
Tickets are available online or by calling 415.444.8000

MORE ON HAPA:
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.
