Touring together, Keola & Henry with KeolaвЂ™s wife Moana performing hula, have been greeted by wildly enthusiastic audiences, celebrating their original songs that have become beloved contemporary Hawaiian classics.вЂOhana Beamer (my family) and I hope you might consider making a donation to PBS HawaiвЂ™i at this critical time. This successful annual show featured HawaiвЂ›iвЂ™s musical greats who shaped Hawaiian music from the вЂ70s forward, as part of the вЂњHawaiian RenaissanceвЂќ - the seminal movement in HawaiвЂ›iвЂ™s cultural history that brought language, music, hula, art, and all aspects of Hawaiian culture back to their central place in the life of the Islands. Today as a solo artist, Henry is a Grammy-nominated and multiple award-winning singer and songwriter winner of 20 NДЃ HЕЌkЕ« Hanohano Awards (HawaiвЂ›iвЂ™s вЂњGrammy's' ), he was honored with two awards in 2021: peer-voted Best Contemporary Album of the Year and, by public vote, Favorite Entertainer of the Year.Дespite their common history, Keola & Henry only performed together for the first time in 2014, when Henry invited Keola & Moana Beamer to be part of Back in the Day performances. They helped forge the sound of вЂ70s Hawaiian music, with laid-back contemporary rock that voiced the feelings of an entire generation in HawaiвЂ›i. Henry Kapono rose to immense popularity with the phenomenon of Cecilio & Kapono (aka C&K) as half of the duo with Cecilio Rodriguez. HeвЂ™ll bring the spirit of the island to the concert.вЂќ вЂ“В Paul Simon вЂњHeвЂ™s an exceptional musician, a very good player, and a beautiful singer. Today he is one of HawaiвЂ›iвЂ™s premier singer-songwriters, arrangers, composers, and masters of the Hawaiian slack key guitar. Keola BeamerвЂ™sВ contributions to slack key guitar during the 1970s began to spark public interest in kД«-hЕЌвЂalu, launching a statewide revival of the tradition, and his 1978 release, Honolulu City Lights, is the largest selling recording in the history of HawaiвЂ›ian music. They have continued to lead the way for over 4 decades. Each became an icon in the 1970s, both at the creative forefront as Hawaiian music reinvented itself. Keola Beamer & Henry Kapono are two legends of Hawaiian music. вЂњ Henry Kapono has clearly become the most prolific and profound island entertainer of his era вЂ“ and thereвЂ™s no stopping him.вЂќ ~July 2021 Wayne Harada, ShowBiz, Entertainment Writer
