 This week on Pakele Live! with Tony Solis our guest is slack key guitarist and multiple Grammy© and Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award winner Cyril Pahinui. Joining Cyril will be Jeff Au Hoy and Peter Moon (Peter Boy). Rhonda Osurrman will dance hula.
The son of musical legend Gabby Pahinui, Cyril is, in his own right, one of Hawai‘i’s most gifted guitarists and singers. He has twice played at Carnegie Hall, and has contributed to three Grammy Award-winning albums, received several Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards, and recorded on more than 35 Hawaiian musical releases. As a slack key guitarist, Cyril’s technical virtuosity, rhythmic adaptations, and instrumental harmonics impart the soul of Hawaiian music, and his beautiful, emotive, and well-recognized voice renders an intimate picture of his Pacific island home.
In addition to entertaining the Pakele Live! audience with his beautiful mele, Cyril will discuss the upcoming Third Annual Gabby Pahinui Waimānalo Kanikapila, set for Saturday, August 6 at the Waimanalo Beach Park. A full day of music (with food and craft vendors), the kanikapila – which is FREE! - runs from 9am to 6pm and will feature dozens of well-known Hawai’i musicians. (The audio may also be broadcast live via the radio and online – we’ll provide more info on that as soon as it has been confirmed, but our guess is that it might be on AM940 at http://www.am940hawaii.com/)
