Kahulanui Kings of Swing

Underlying Grammy nominated Kahulanui’s contemporary take on vintage music is a cultural cohesiveness of ku’l, the joining of old and new. The nine piece band combines the instrumentation of traditional Hawaiian music (ukulele, bass, steel and standard guitar) with that of American swing (saxophone, trumpet and trombone) to create a phenomenal sound. Kahulanui’s stunning execution of big-band styling evokes an era of smoke-filled bars alive with lindy-hopping dancers.
