Born in the rural countryside near Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, Joan Soriano fashioned his first guitar from a tin can and fishing line and has never looked back. Soriano plays steel string bachata with equal parts romance and grit. The Afro-infused rhythm that permeates his music has made him a favorite among dancers.
Describing its music as ukulele-powered Hawaiian reggae folk rock, Kanekoa has been playing together since 1999, melding elements of Hawaiian, rock, folk, blues, reggae and improvisation into a truly unique sound. Because their sound is based on the yet untapped potential of the electrified Hawaiian ukulele, inspired by the range of musical tastes of its players, and shaped by the land and culture of Hawai’i, Kanekoa has discovered a land of limitless musical possibility. In short, you have not seen or heard anything like this.
