KulaiwiIndigenous Hawaiian Performance
Kulaiwi brings together three of Hawai‘i’s most talented and revered musicians—Lehua Kalima, Shawn Pimental, and Kawika Kahiapo—alongside hula dancer Pono Fernandez. With a blend of soaring vocals, rich island harmonies, and folk-inspired guitar, they create a deeply engaging atmosphere rooted in the heart of Hawaiian culture. Their debut collaboration earned them 4 Na Hoku Hanohano Awards, including the prestigious Group of the Year. Known for their captivating performances, Kulaiwi effortlessly weaves traditional Hawaiian storytelling through their music, which is as warm and welcoming as the islands themselves.
The name "Kulaiwi" translates to "land of my ancestors," and this connection to ancestry is central to their performances. While they sing the stories of Hawai‘i, their music also resonates with Indigenous communities worldwide, celebrating both cultural diversity and unity. Kulaiwi’s performances invite audiences to reflect on their own heritage and engage in a deeper connection with their roots, creating an unforgettable musical experience that honors the past while looking toward the future.
