Led & Mike (and Me)
Led Kaapana is one of the foremost slack key guitarists of all time, carrying on the Konanui style developed by his uncle, Fred Punahoa, and following in the musical tradition of his mother's Konanui family. He has recorded 35 or so LPs, Cassettes, and CDs along with numerous collaborations and guest appearances: http://ledkaapana.com/discography.htm. He was honored in 2011 as a National Heritage Fellow: https://www.arts.gov/honors/heritage...edward-kaapana And he still plays every day just for fun.
Mike Kaawa is known for his 12 string artistry but he's also a songwriter and a formidable arranger of traditional material. Led and Mike together recorded one delightful live CD titled most appropriately "Force of Nature" and showcasing the terrific energy they create on stage together. Over the next month or so they are leaving the islands and heading to the mainland for a series of shows. Even when we visit Hawai`i it's rare to catch Mike and Led playing together so it's a special opportunity to see them on the road.
