KAHULANUI

There is a new wave coming from Hawaii, a blend of traditional music and the Big Band Swing brought to the Aloha State by U.S. servicemen during World War II. Its leading exponent is Kahulanui, a nine-piece band: four horns plus guitar, bass, ukulele, drums and steel, whose energy and dynamic arrangements have caused a sensation throughout the Islands and the Mainland. Their debut CD, Hula Ku’I, was nominated for a 2014 Grammy Award in the Regional Roots category. Kahulanui is bringing their unique style to delighted audiences across America.
