Kulāiwi is three of Hawai‘i’s most delightful performers --Lehua Kalima (of Na Leo), Shawn Pimental, and Kawika Kahiapo – who have come together with hula dancer Pono Fernandez to share exceptional songwriting and cultural talents. Soaring vocals, island harmonies, superb guitar with a folk vibe, and fun “talk-story” won them 4 Nā Hōku Awards (Hawai‘i’s “Grammy’s”) for their first CD together, including top honors as Group of the Year. Kulāiwi means “land of my ancestors” and reflects their passionate commitment to their islands as they celebrate Hawai‘i today.
