Paula took a break from touring the world to share that remarkable gift on the Nā Mele stage. Accompanied by an all-star band including Mike Love and Brad Watanabe from The Green, Paula performs songs from her catalogue and her 2022 Nā Hōkū Hanohano award winning album for Contemporary Album of the Year, Rain on Sunday.

We’re proud to present the all-wāhine Hawaiian music trio Ahumanu, from Maui. Members Kekai Robinson, Marja Lehua Apisaloma and Liz Morales say their work in the community outside the entertainment realm brings to their music a dimension of authenticity, service and responsibility. The trio, whose name translates to “a gathering of birds,” performs songs including “E ʻAno ʻAno Ē” and “Kahi Aloha.” Guitarist Josh Kahula and steel guitarist Casey Olsen are also featured, with Leinaʻala Kuloloio Vedder providing hula accompaniment.

In this Nā Mele: Traditions in Hawaiian Song, Jerry has woven together a story of home through his music as it speaks to the idea of kuʻu home, a personal, endearing way to refer to our place in the world.
