"A band with insight and vision...Hapa's music is majestic, reflecting a link to the past but soaring mightily into the future.” — Wayne Harada, Honolulu Advertiser
“Hapa’s Maui is an instant classic and solidifies the group’s standing as a titan of the genre. They haven’t missed a beat.” -- KCSN-FM, Los Angeles
Aloha!
"Hawaii's super group" (Elle) — HAPA leaves their Island paradise to tour the mainland US this winter. Their freshly updated website — www.hapa.com — contains complete tour details along with news and samples of their award-winning music.
This year’s touring show will feature songs from their recently released 6th album, Maui, Charles Kaupu’s soulful chants and stories, two champion hula dancers, plus additional dancers from regional hulau in select cities. Add to that their signature dose of American acoustic folk/rock, Celtic and world influences and you have the essence of what Hawaii and Hapa music is: "beautiful, fragile, spiritual, powerful" (Los Angeles Times).
