Individually, these three artists have a number of Na Hoku Hanohano Awards between them. Lehua Kalima is one-third of Hawai‘i's beloved Na Leo Pilimehana. Shawn Pimental is a Grammy-nominated producer, and he and Kawika Kahiapo have performed with countless island and national favorites. Together the synergy they create is both heard and felt by their audiences. Kulaiwi means “land of my ancestors.” With soaring vocals, island harmonies and a folk vibe, along with an easy-going charisma and witty banter, they are committed to telling the stories of Hawai’i – the land and the people – from their Indigenous points of view. Both their original songs and their selections of Hawaiian classics are inspired by diverse musical styles and reflect their passionate commitment to their islands. kulaiwimusic.com
