Announcing Makana's March Lei Kukui Tour 🌿Lei Kukui: a night of music to kindle the flames of culture, resilience and a path forward.
Rooted in all things Hawaiian yet ripe with cultural diversity, Makana weaves an intimate evening of uplifting and diverse song, stringing together mele and moʻolelo with newly-invented and handed-down slack key tunings, styles and untold stories. Hawaiian slack key guitar (Kī Hōʻalu) is an indigenous art form on par with flamenco, the blues and other global guitar styles, played in gorgeous tunings handed down through generations of ʻohana across Hawaiʻi. Makana's kumu lineage are masters- Ray Kāne, Sonny Chillingworth, Bobby Moderow and others- and his performances honor and celebrate them while bringing a fresh energy to this rare folk art.
These performances draw from Makana's beloved classics as well as unheard, unreleased repertoire.
If you’re thinking about a meaningful Valentine’s gift, or simply craving a beautiful, grounding experience, this is an evening to share!
