Hawaii Public Radio's 2014 Atherton Summer Season opens on Saturday, May 10 at 7:30 p.m. when Hawaiian slack key artists and songwriters Kawika Kahiapo and Keale come together for their first joint concert in the intimacy of HPR's Atherton Performing Arts Studio. The duo, both members of the Na Hoku award-winning band Kaukahi, will bring their exceptional vocal harmonies to a program that will include traditional favorites, innovative arrangements, and original mele (songs).

Kawika Kahiapo was born and raised in Kane'ohe, Oahu and has performed professionally since age 17. He's dedicated his career to perpetuating the art of ki ho'alu (slack key guitar) through numerous recording projects, both solo and collaborative, and an active performance schedule.
