Stern Grove Festival 2010: Hapa (Hawaiian Fusion)

Sunday, June 27, 2010 - 2:00 pm | Cost: FREE
Sigmund Stern Grove | 19th Avenue and Sloat, San Francisco, CA

Hapa has been sharing the majesty of the Hawaiian Islands with audiences all over the world for over twenty-five years. Founded by native New Yorker Barry Flanagan in 1983, Hapa, a term used to describe a person of mixed heritage, has evolved to include award-winning Kuma Hula, Charles Ka’upu, a specialist in the tradition of oli, or Polynesian chant, and Nathan Aweau, a multi-faceted musician and a staple in the Hawaiian music community.

Hapa’s wide breadth of musical acumen stems from the diversity of its members’ experiences. While rooted in the language and chord structure of mele (traditional song) the group incorporates elements of jazz, Americana, rock, and folk. The result is a catalog of soothing melodies and transformative rhythms.

Since 1938, Stern Grove Festival has been the Bay Area’s home for outstanding performing arts in a beautiful outdoor setting, completely admission-free.
