About Patrick Landeza & Sons
A native Hawaiian who was born and raised on the continent, Patrick Landeza found his roots in the music shared with him by his mother, Frances Kawaipulo?u Kuakini O?Sullivan Landeza. The songs that she taught him, many of which are on this new release, were songs that she learned growing up in Ho?olehua, Moloka?i. The music filled cultural gaps left by his childhood in California, providing him with a firm foundation upon which he built his musical career. The music he grew up listening to sparked an interest in the traditional art of slack-key, connecting Patrick with some of ki ho?alu's most legendary names: Cyril Pahinui, Raymond Kane, George Kuo, and Dennis Kamakahi. Under their tutelage, the network of roots that his mother had carefully established grew and Patrick's style of music became firmly rooted in slack-key.
Now a father of 5, it's Landeza's turn to follow in his mother's footsteps and share the songs of his heritage with the next generation, connecting them to their ancestors through the very roots that connected him. Patrick Landeza & Sons is made up of Patrick, his son, Patrick Landeza, Jr. or PJ (18), and his hanai son, Justin Firmeza (20). PJ is currently a 12th grader at Moreau Catholic High School in Hayward and Justin is in his 3rd year at San Jose State University majoring in Jazz Studies.
By teaching these young men the songs he was taught, Patrick is ensuring that the legacy that he was entrusted with by his mother and many slack-key mentors will live on. This is Landeza's 27th year in education and is currently at Moreau Catholic High School in Hayward, California.
Our host and hula dancer for the evening is Angela Baraquio Grey, Miss America 2001. As the first teacher, first Asian, and only Filipina Miss America in the program's 100-year history, Angela championed her platform of Character Education and used her scholarship awards to earn a Master's Degree in Educational Administration, which set her up for her current role as principal of a K-8 Catholic School in Southern California.
