Live Aloha Hawai\u2018ian Cultural Festival – Seattle Center\u00a0 –\u00a0 10 September 2023<\/p>\n

Wow, packed day, never took a break from non-stop sketching, bouncing between the two performance stages.\u00a0 So didn’t have a chance to scarf until all was over, and by then the food vendors had sold all the good stuff and were packing up.\u00a0 I’m pretty much out of touch with what’s happening musically in Hawai\u2018i, so all of the musical acts were new to me.\u00a0 The pall of the Lahaina fire disaster rallied the community of Seattle Hawai\u2018ians and sympathizers in solidarity and support, even had me opening wallet.<\/p>\n

To my ear, the trios \u2018Uhu\u2018uhene and Hi\u2018ikua are steeped in the Gabby Pahinui Hawai\u2018ian Renaissance tradition, deservedly cherished.\u00a0 Musical pedigrees abound.\u00a0 In addition to performing with Hi\u2018ikua, Kamuela Kimokeo serves as head of the Music Department at Windward Community College.\u00a0 Chin is one of those modern uke slingers who does not accept hackneyed clich\u00e9s about his instrument.\u00a0 Yes he’s got the traditional down, but embraces varied non-Hawai\u2018ian influences as well; at this gig, he busted out a dynamite instrumental “Girl From Ipanema” in tribute to the departed Astrud Gilberto.\u00a0 Wehilei’s website touts her as “a Kohala girl lost in her island reggae world”, a stylistic departure from the aforementioned acts, more world-music oriented, and perhaps more for the young-‘uns, not so much the hula dancers.<\/p>\n
