Sounds of Hawaii (Kaumakaaiwa with Kuliawi)

A riveting performer, Kaumakaiwa creates some of the most original work in contemporary Hawaiian music, with aesthetics from chant traditions. Kaumakaiwa’s long-time guitarist Shawn Pimental, an award-winning musician in his own right, joined with two of Hawai‘i’s leading music performers -- Lehua Kalima (of Na Leo) and Kawika Kahiapo, and hula practitioner Pono Fernandez – to form Kulaiwi, creating music drawn from their Native Hawaiian roots and commitment to Hawaiian lands.
