Ukulele virtuoso Taimane has an upcoming performance at the Hawaiʻi Theatre. She'll be showcasing a visual production featuring her Nā Hōkū Hanohano-winning album, "Hawaiki." Profits from the performance will benefit those affected by the Maui wildfires
She reflected on the strength of community and shared the healing power of music.
"I feel like all of Hawaiʻi is kind of mourning for Maui and what we are seeing our people have to go through," she said. "I honestly think we're all a little bit traumatized. And we're having to find ways to heal and also find our power."
The concert, "Hawaiki: A Musical & Theatrical Odyssey," will take place on Friday, Aug. 25 at 7:30 p.m. It will also be livestreamed at hawaiitheatre.com. Find tickets here.
