HAPA

Like the islands themselves, HAPA’s music is an amalgam of influences ranging from ancient Polynesian rhythms and chants to the strummed ballads of Portuguese fishermen and Mexican cowboys. Add to this 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) These disparate ingredients, blended together musically in the Pacific, create the unique flavor of HAPA’s music: “beautiful, fragile, spiritual, powerful….” (L.A. Times)
