This from the Honolulu Advertiser...
Ki ho'alu legends to talk story, jam
By Marie Carvalho
Special to The Advertiser
No cultural summit set in Hawai'i would be complete without a little ki ho'alu — after all, it was easygoing "slack" tuning that put the Islands on the world's musical map. And this gathering of local guitar greats resembles a rare master class.
Five slack-key legends will appear: Haunani Apoliona, who is also the head of OHA; Grammy winner Ledward "Hot Hand" Ka'apana, known for his quick, improvisational wit; Sons of Hawai'i's Dennis Kamakahi; four-finger picker Ozzie Kotani; and Cyril Pahinui, whose name and talent need no explanation.
On Friday, the group will talk story about their musical heritage and personal innovations to their discipline 1:30 to 2:45 p.m. Then 3:15 to 4:30 p.m. they'll stage a rare, collaborative concert that's being billed as "Kanikapila in the old Hawaiian style." It may take place in an auditorium, but this event is a chance to witness cultural legacy in the making — a la your uncle's backyard party, just more da kine.
From left, Ledward Ka'apana, Dennis Kamakahi and
Cyril Pahinui cap Friday off with their slack key.

Yikes! $60 for a one-day ticket...for a one-hour kanikapila and talk-story session. I'm sure it will be interesting, but way beyond my budget!  |

| I checked with Uncle Dennis who wrote, "I'm performing at the Hawaii Convention Center as part of the International Cultural Seminar being held in Hawaii and sponsored by the Hawaii State Cultural Foundation of the Arts." |
