Hapa ~ “Pahinui Aloha”
The Miners Foundry is pleased to welcome back HAPA, on Thursday, March 12, 2015. Often encapsulated as the “Sound of Maui” or the “Soundtrack of Hawaii”, the music and sound of HAPA evokes a place many people refer to as heavenly. Expect to hear hypnotic, liquid guitar runs woven around clear, tenor Hawaiian vocals and immaculate harmonies driven by poetic lyrics exulting the rapture of the Hawaiian landscape, History,and Mythology. This will be a dancing concert with limited seating.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the music begins at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 in Advance and $30 at the Door, and are available online, by phone or in person at the Miners Foundry, or in person at Briar Patch Co-Op. Ticketing fees may apply.
“… the most exciting and beautiful contemporary Hawaiian music the world knows.” ~ Maui Times
The blend of HAPA’s original vocal sound was originated on a wooden picnic bench in the beautiful little beach town of Lahaina on the island of Maui in the early 1980’s.
The overriding quality of their music is one of passion, beauty, and serenity, as found in the majestic tones of the oli (chant), mele (song), and the exhilarating innovative sounds of virtuoso guitar performances.
HAPA’s recordings have infused fearless and brilliant production while weaving unique, inventive elements of sound and textures into their intricate South Pacific tapestry.
