Enjoy an evening of luau style Hawaiian Music. Featuring: Gary Keawe Aiko, Pomaika’i Keawe Lyman, Momi Kahawaiola’a and Alan Akaka.
Aunty Genoa Keawe's spirit continues with her musicians who have supported her performances here for the 13 years that she has performed here. Her vocal style is irreplaceable and can never be duplicated. However, Pomaika’i does a great job in filling ones yearning for her grandmothers music. A style of her own, not far from her maternal lineage.
Genoa Keawes’ son, Gary Aiko, is well reknown for his soothing baritone voice.An artist in his own right who played with Don Ho at the original Honey’s in Kaneohe before he became famous. A history of music in Hawaii that people would rather not forget because every performance was like a party. Eventually the original group moved to Duke Kahanamoku’s in Waikiki. After 1 year because of irreconcilable differences the original group disbanded.
Momi Kahawaiola’a the neice of Aunty Genoa has performed with her Aunt in the last 20 years. Momi and her sisters were the first to record the ever popular Hukilau song which originated in Lai’e on the island of Oahu where her grandmother would take the family every Saturday for all the newcomers to experience the ability for net fishing. She has a beautiful soft soprano voice that you will enjoy.
