Presenting the group, Tropical Breeze featuring Sam Kapu, who performed at the Princess Kaiulani Hotel in Waikiki on January 15, 2002.
While in Hawaii for the month of January 2002, I made my daily excursions through the International Market Place in Waikiki & briefly became friends with a local Hawaiian Philippino man named Omando, who sang this ukelele medley for me.
I filmed Lance Kalahiki perform his song entitled "King Of Kings" on January 11, 2002 at the Kapiolani Park Bandstand, adjacent Kuhio Beach in Waikiki. When ever I share this video with others the "Spirit" seems to touch their hearts - Hope this song Blesses you!
January 4, 2002 I filmed the Hawaiian slack-key guitar group Ho'omanalo, who performed at the Food Court of the International Market Place on Kalakua Ave. in Waikiki, and you will also see one of Hawaii's finest hula dancers. Ki ho'alu, which literally means "loosen the (tuning) key,"is the Hawaiian name for the solo finger picked style unique to the only music indigenous to Hawaii. Many slack-key songs reflect themes in the past & present lives of people. Hearing this group led me to become interested in the acoustic sound of slack-key.
