 Join us for Hawaiian Classics, a special Live from the Lawn event at the Hawai'i State Art Museum for First Friday on October 3rd. Entertainment is from 6 to 9 p.m. Art galleries are open from 5 to 9 p.m. The public is invited to this free program.
Headlining the program will be the Brothers Cazimero, who will perform on the front lawn stage of the Hawai'i State Art Museum for the first time to celebrate the release of their new album Destiny. This popular new album, which topped out at No. 3 on the “Billboard World Music Chart,” is their latest in a catalog of nearly 40 albums that began four decades ago. The Brothers Cazimero will be accompanied by the gentlemen of Halau Na Kamalei.
Brother Noland, winner of the 2007 Na Hoku Hanohano Award for “Reggae Album of the Year,” will also be performing on the lawn. As one of Hawai'i’s musical icons and visionary leaders, he proudly carries with him the values of aloha through his music and his life. Brother Noland plays many kinds of music including Jawaiian, traditional Hawaiian, slack key, and Hawaiian swing music. He will perform many of his hits plus songs from his new album Mystical Fish.
The evening begins with the 24 dancers and 10 drummers/singers of Te Lumanaki O Tokelau in a spectacular Pacific dance performance. This talented group of dancers have returned triumphant from winning the cup at the Po Fatele competition at the Tokelau Festival in New Zealand. This will be a wonderful treat for concert-goers.
Don’t forget to check out the second floor of the museum with beautiful art on display in the Diamond Head and Ewa galleries, plus wonderful musical entertainment on the second floor Lanai Lounge. Jeff Peterson and Bobby Nishida will heat up the lanai with sizzling slack key and jazz guitar playing.
