About this concert
Kalani is a singer of power, sensitivity, and charisma, one of the most promising talents in a new generation of Hawaiian musicians. He has won 2 Grammy Awards for Best Regional Roots album to date, one for each of his two CDs releases, the only Hawaiian artist to win in this category. His first CD also won him a 2017 Na Hoku Hanohano Award (Hawai‘i’s “Grammy”), making Hawaiian music history as the only album to win both a Grammy and Na Hoku. This year, he hit another first - he made his debut appearance at the prestigious Merrie Monarch hula competition, singing one of his original songs for the hula group that went on to take home the top honor at the competition.
Kalani has been praised for Hawaiian language fluency, songwriting skills, and commitment to his Hawaiian roots, as well as a musical range runs from traditional chant to Hawaiian classics to new songs to R&B and a charming and dynamic presence on-stage. He began singing at age 4 to address a stutter as a child, and his natural talent was subsequently recognized in singing competitions from childhood to college years, and has brought him to the forefront of Hawaiian music today.

Kalani P’ea Concert @ UC Irvine Barclay Center.
This Concert was a delight. Kalani is very talented and he definitely entertained and engaged the audience. I appreciated his sharing of each songs inspiration and meaning immediately before he performed which helped non Hawaiian speaking guests understand w/o knowing the Hawaiian language - which is such a sweet and soothing language to hear in song. I loved how he honored his roots and others who have left their mark on the music world.
The Graceful and oh so Beautiful Hula Dancers from Halau Na Mano O Pana’ewa made the live music even better! Even Mom shared her talents through dance which was so heartwarming to watch.
The venue was very nice. Every seat in the house was a great seat. Even from the back row You felt up close and personal Parking was close by and readily available.
Thanks for a wonderful evening of song snd dance. If you have an opportunity to attend a future concert in your area I highly recommend you do so.
