Led Kaapana with Fran
Guidry |
|
|
Led Kaapana's mastery of stringed instruments,
particularly slack key guitar, and his extraordinary baritone and leo ki`eki`e
(falsetto) voices, have made him a musical legend. He has been thrilling
audiences for more than 40 years. With easy-going style and kolohe (rascal)
charm, he has built a loyal corps of Led Heads from Brussels to his
birthplace on the Big Island of Hawaii. Recognition by his peers earned Led 4
Grammy nominations in his own right and 2 wins on slack key compilations. Like
so many Hawaiians, Led grew up in a musical family. In the tiny black sand bay
village of Kalapana, there were few distractions. "We didn't have
electricity, no television, not even much radio," says Led. "So we
entertained ourselves. You could go to any house and everybody was playing
music." Often everybody was playing music at a backyard party, many of
which lasted for days. "People played in shifts, taking over when somebody
went to sleep," Led recalls. "You'd fall asleep to the music, wake up
and the music was still playing. That was the best alarm clock I ever had!"

Chuck Brodsky is a storyteller, a songwriter, a
troubadour, a modern day bard. His wit and irony, down-to-earth warmth, and
quirky, rootsy, finely crafted songs tell stories of oddball and underdog
characters. His songs celebrate the goodness in people, the eccentric, the
holy, the profound, the courageous, the inspiring, the beautiful. They poke fun
at what needs poking and sometimes challenge what needs to be challenged.
They’re sworn to tell the truth. |
