HPR is celebrating Mahina ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, Hawaiian language month, with a concert series that kicked off with the all-female trio band Kilia in our Atherton Studio. The all-male band, Hi’ikua, will bookend the series.
Hi’ikua is a Nā Hōkū Hanohano award-winning trio that has been around for more than a decade. It carries on the musical stylings of classic Hawaiian musicians like Hui Ohana and the Kahauanu Lake Trio. HPR talked to Hi’ikua's Kamuela Kimokeo, Blake Leoiki-Haili and Kalehua Krug.
Hi’ikua is scheduled to perform on Feb. 22 at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. and on Feb. 23. at 2 p.m. For more information about HPR's Live from the Atherton Mele Hawaiʻi concert series, click here. To purchase tickets for Hi’ikua's performance, click here.
