Three of Hawai‘i’s most talented musicians come together in this month’s Nā Mele. Lehua Kalima Alvarez of Na Leo Pilimehana, along with Kawika Kahiapo and Shawn Kekoa Pimental, have teamed up to create a new group, Kulāiwi.

Paula took a break from touring the world to share that remarkable gift on the Nā Mele stage.

The music group Walea blends traditional instrumentation and harmonies with contemporary Hawaiian composition in an effortless way that “feels right,” says band member Kū Koanui-Souza.

Keilana draws inspiration from artists like Ella Fitzgerald and Stevie Wonder to create a sound that’s all her own.
