Both Pe‘a and Taimane are pushing the music of Hawai‘i forward into the stratosphere, breaking glass ceilings while paying homage to the roots of their creations and wowing audiences around the world. Native Hawaiian Pe‘a is a dynamic and charming performer with vocal brilliance and a wide range of songs and styles, from Hawaiian to Classical to R&B, that showcase his deep cultural roots and Hawaiian contemporary soul. Pe‘a received his 4th GRAMMY for his most recent release “Kuini”, the only Hawaiian artist ever to win in the Regional Roots category. Hapa Sāmoan (part native Samoan and part Caucasian) Taimane is best known for her fierce and inventive style of playing the ‘ukulele, merging a wide array of genres, from Bach to rock, flamenco infernos to tribal hymns, summoning a seemingly limitless palette of emotions via an instrument previously viewed as restricted. At Lobero Theatre, Pe‘a and Taimane will share the stage as part of their first-ever tour after receiving rave reviews for their debut performance together at Sony Hall in New York City. ★ KALANI PE‘A ★ “Gifted with a gorgeous voice and a flair for composing resonant Hawaiian songs, [he’s] a major, innovative figure in contemporary Hawaiian music.” – Maui News “Kalani Peʻa holds an important place in the history of Hawaiian music… [He] …displays the depth and breadth of his talent as a vocalist and songwriter in vivid style.” – Honolulu Star-Advertiser ★ TAIMANE ★ “Taimane rocks the stage with a sensual vibrancy and a white hot talent that captivates and beguiles!” - Pierce Brosnan (aka 007) “I didn’t see anyone at the [SXSW] festival doing anything close to what she [Taimane] does on stage. She shreds on ukulele and rocks everything from Beethoven to Led Zeppelin. Somehow she manages to not only rock out but connect the audience with meaningful Hawaiian traditions and dances.” - Austin American-Statesman
