Kāhea kākou! Kulāiwi – Native Lands contemporary music & hula of Indigenous Hawai‘i performing tomorrow evening at the Old Town School of Folk Music! Szold Hall is located at 4545 N Lincoln Avenue, Chicago-60625. 773.728.6000 or Online to purchase tickets.

Allow me to share the scoops on this newly formed group. The group name is new, but the artists of Kulāiwi, are not! I took one look and realized that Uncle Kawika Kahiapo wasn't wearing his hat! Shawn Pimentel, who formed this group, returns to the Old Town as his last visit he performed with Kaumaka`iwa during the first Festival of Aloha that was captured live by CANTV (I think that one, yikes) back in 2012, got a haircut! And the lovely female voice you will hear in this group is one of the three voices of Na Leo Pilimehana! I kid you NOT. Joined by Pono Fernandez as Hula for all you Hula enthusiasts as well, it will be worth it.
Please share and come out and show our warm Chicago support no matter what season, for Kulāiwi!

Let's go-Hana Hou!
