We are pleased to welcome HAPA back to Jaqua Concert Hall, Thursday, October 13th. Barry Flanagan and Kenneth Makuakāne play Hapa's trademark mix of historic and contemporary Hawai’ian music laced with Latin flourishes and a dash of American acoustic folk and rock. Like the islands themselves, Hapa's music is an amalgam of influences ranging from ancient Polynesian rhythms and genealogical chants to the strummed ballads of Portuguese fisherman and Mexican cowboys, and the inspired melodies and harmonies of the traditional church choirs of the early missionaries. Add a dose of American acoustic folk/rock, and you have what has been described as the “most exciting and beautiful contemporary Hawaiian music the world knows!” (Maui Times).
