Introducing Molokaʻi’s Augie B. “Lopaka” Colón Jr., one of the top Latin-Afro-Cuban-Hawaiian percussionists in the World. A multi Na Hōkū Hanohano Award winner (Hawaiʻi’s version of the Grammy®), Lopaka is an energy explosion on and off the stage, adding a unique ingredient to every band, show, or musical project he is part of. His vibrant percussive sounds and exotic animal calls will now come center stage for his latest project “Lopaka Colón’s Sophisticated Savages.”

The Sophisticated Savages will pay homage to Lopaka’s deep musical lineage, as well as to the legacy of Lopaka’s Father, the “original” Sophisticated Savage and World famous percussionist, Augie B. Colón Sr. Join Lopaka as he takes you on a rhythmic excursion across exotic Polynesia.
