Tomorrow's guests on Pakele Live! are ki ho'alu master Ledward Kaapana and 12 string guitar virtuoso Mike Kaawa. The two will be celebrating their 2009 Grammy nomination in the Best Hawaiian Album category for "Force of Nature" - recorded live in 2007 at the Triple Door in Seattle.
These two veterans of the Hawaiian music scene are each legends in their own right, but it's something truly special when they "join forces"... Led and Mike often tour the mainland, but they seldom play together here in Hawai'i nei - so don't miss this special (and FREE!) concert!
If you're on O'ahu, please join us Thursday from 6-8 p.m. HST for this free Pakele Live! concert taping and live internet broadcast, located in the Pakele Lounge at the Ala Moana Hotel (410 Atkinson Dr., Honolulu). You can also watch live online at: http://www.pakelelive.com/. Those in Japan can tune in at http://www.j-wave.co.jp/
If you watch online, please don’t forget to email the show at pakele @ lava.net and let them know you’re watching (and from what city)! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Led and Mike will also be at the free "Live from the Lawn" Grammy concert at the Hawai'i State Art Museum in Honolulu Friday (see separate post about that), and they're doing a pre-Grammy "Force of Nature" tour in California (not free - sorry!):
