This week on Pakele Live! with Tony Solis we see the return of Kuhio performing with members of the Nagoya portion of Ka Hula O Ululani, as well as Aunty Diana Aki, and Simple Souls.
Regular Pakele Live! viewers might remember that Ka Hula O Ululani (under the direction of Kumu Hula Ululani Duncan) made an appearance last November – however the dancers were from the halau’s Fukuoka (Japan) chapter. Those dancing this time will be from the halau’s chapter in Nagoya. (Kumu Ululani's students number well over a 1,000 combined in the Nagoya and Fukuoka area!) They are scheduled to perform first.
Next up will be the return of musician, singer, composer, Na Hoku Hanohano Award winner and the "Songbird of Miloli'i," Aunty Diana Aki. Aunty made an appearance on Pakele Live last October while celebrating the release of “Kalihi” - her first CD in 15 years!
To round out the evening, we have the first-ever appearance of Simple Souls, an acoustic duo made up of Jenn “JRoQ Wright (MighTy J, PALI, Kanalo, She Rocks), and Zaysha Labrador (Kanalo, She Rocks). [Side note - I'm concerned about Jenn - she was just diagnosed with tendonitus yesterday and the doc gave her some meds and told her to rest her wrist... hard to do when you play percussion, plus she's leaving with PALI next week for a fairly long tour in Japan... send lots of healing thoughts her way! Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...]
Join host Tony Solis for Pakele Live! this Thursday, July 16 from 6-8 p.m. HST at the Pakele Lounge in the Ala Moana Hotel (410 Atkinson Dr., Honolulu).
