Live from the Lawn – Pacific Oasis
First Friday, April 3, 2009, 6-9 p.m., Hawai‘i State Art Museum, Free
Join us for Pacific Oasis, a special Live from the Lawn event at the Hawai'i State Art Museum on First Friday on April 3rd from 6 to 9 p.m. This event features the Royal Hawaiian Band, 808NDNZ, Peter Apo and the Rainbow Nation Band, Hula Halau Na Wahine O Ka Hula Mai Ka Pu'uwai, Te Lumanaki o Tokelau i Amelika, and Partners in Time.
The lawn program begins with a performance by the Royal Hawaiian Band. Founded in 1836 by King Kamehameha III, and now an agency of the City and County of Honolulu, the band is the only full-time municipal band in the United States today.
 Performing next on the lawn is 808NDNZ, a native American Indian intertribal group based on O'ahu. The group features singers, percussionists, and dancers from several American Indian nations including the Lakota, Hopi, Colville Confederated Tribes, Cree, Kumeyaa, and Santo Domingo Pueblo. Together they sing with one voice. Some of their songs, which have been handed down by the elders, are sung in Lakota or Cree. Others songs are more social and contemporary, written by family and friends and often sung in English.
Closing the lawn program will be Peter Apo and the Rainbow Nation Band. Apo is an accomplished songwriter, singer, and musician. His recorded music is rooted in the folk-rock genre, and his live performances cover the spectrum of folk, blues, standards, and Hawaiana. In 2007, Apo organizedthe Rainbow Nation Band featuring several of Hawai'i's best musicians. The band is now working in the studio recording a new album entitled Songwriter featuring 10 original songs, which is scheduled for release in spring 2009. The Rainbow Nation Band will perform with Hula Halau Na Wahine O Ka Hula Mai Ka Pu'uwai.
Upstairs on the second floor Lanai Lounge, Te Lumanaki o Tokelau i Amelika will perform. This talented group features 24 dancers and 10 drummers-singers who will dazzle you in a spectacular Pacific dance performance. They returned triumphant after winning the cup at the Po Fatele Competition at the Tokelau Festival in New Zealand.
Up next on the Lanai Lounge will be the music group Partners in Time. They will perform traditional Balkan and Near Eastern music, primarily Macedonian, Bulgarian, Greek, Armenian, and Turkish. They will also play some Middle Eastern music plus original and jazzfusion music blending ethnic rhythms, scales, and styles of ornamentation. The band will be joined by Souren Baronian, an Armenian-American musician and composer from New York. Delicious food will be on sale on the lawn from Le Crepe Café, Soul de Cuba Café, and Hank's Haute Dogs. Downtown @ the HiSAM, the museum restaurant on the first floor, will be open for dinner and will be serving Spanish tapas. You can also visit our museum gift shop, Shop@HiSAM, which features a large selection of locally-made handcrafted gifts.
