SUMMARY:E Kanikapila Kākou Week 4:  “The Amazing Charlotte Apo with the Mokihana Serenaders”.  Plus “Hot Kūpuna Strut Their Stuff”
DESCRIPTION:E Kanikapila Kākou 2025  \nOUTRIGGER Kaua‘i Beach Resort and Spa  \nTheme: “Music Heals” & “Hawaiian Music Traditions”  \nMonday Nights – 6:00 – 8:30 pm\, through March 24; Doors open at 5:00 pm \nWeek 4\, February 24:  “The Amazing Charlotte Apo with the Mokihana Serenaders” (Paul Ventura\, Pancho Graham\, Norman Kaawa Solomon\, Kilipaki Vaughan). Plus “Hot Kūpuna Strut Their Stuff” \nBorn in the fishing village of Miloliʻi on Hawaiʻi Island on May 29\, 1937\, Charlotte Apo grew up in a close-knit community where singing and playing Hawaiian songs was a basic lifestyle. Charlotte attended Kamehameha Schools from 1952 to 1955.  She worked for Hawaiian Airlines playing music and also played music with Aunty Genoa Keawe. Music was a major part of her life. \nIn 2011\, at the age of 74\, Charlotte was clinically diagnosed with Alzheimerʻs. Her short-term memory is nearly non-existent\, but music and long-term memories related to music are fortunately intact. As long as she is prompted with her song titles\, Charlotte can draw from her encyclopedic memory banks of traditional Hawaiian songs and accompanies herself with her zesty ʻukulele strumming. Does she get tired?  Not when she is accompanied by the Mokihana Serenaders\, a dynamite ensemble of Kauaʻi musicians including Pancho Graham on upright bass\, Kilipaki Vaughan on steel guitar\, and Norman Kaʻawa Solomon and Paul Ventura\, Charlotteʻs son\, on guitar. \nAdding to the fun and action for the evening\, kupuna are invited to get up and “strut their stuff” when they are so moved.  It will be hard to keep the kupuna in their chairs with such rousing Hawaiian music. \nCharlotte and the Mokihana Serenaders are embarking on a new “career” playing on the set for the upcoming movie\, “Hawaiian Vacation” which will be released\, hopefully\, soon. \nʻUkulele Hour: Beverly Kauanui \nPurchase tickets at: http://EKK2025.eventbrite.com \nThe Garden Island Arts Council presents E Kanikapila Kakou 2025 as a Community Enrichment program made possible with funding support from the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority (HTA) with support services from Kilohana at Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement (CNHA). \nEKK Special from Hotel: \nWe are so excited you are attending our EKK Concert Series!
