Historic Kailua Village welcomes award-winning Hawaiian music entertainer Ku’uipo Kumukahi to the stage as part of Historic Kailua Village’s monthly Kokua Kailua Village this Sunday, September 20.

Kokua Kailua begins at 1 pm. Kumukahi will perform on the main stage at Emma’s Square on Alii Drive from 5 pm until 6 pm.

Kumukahi’s family’s deep rooted traditions, knowledge and values are ever present in her music. She is self taught and influenced by family songs, other Hawaiian singers and her parents.

Ku’uipo Kumukahi has garnered Na Hoku Hanohano’s most Promising New Artist Award as well as six other awards including Female Vocalist of the Year and Traditional Hawaiian Album of the Year. In addition, the Hawaii Academy of Recording Arts nominated Kumukahi as its Female Vocalist of the Year in 1999 and she was awarded the Traditional Hawaiian Album of the Year by the Hawaii Music Awards in the same year.

Ku’uipo Kumukahi’s mission is to produce, preserve, perpetuate and promote quality in Hawaiian music.

Visit the wide array of restaurants, merchants and vendors in the unparalleled Kokua Kailua when Alii Drive becomes an afternoon pedestrian marketplace. Following a Sunday of shopping and strolling, sit back, relax and enjoy the beautiful music of Ku’uipo Kumukahi, as a gift to the community from Kailua Village Business Improvement District.

Next month’s Kokua Kailua is scheduled for Sunday, October 18.

Kokua Kailua is sponsored by the Kailua Village Business Improvement District. The monthly program is designed to rally support for merchants and restaurants and to remind residents to shop, dine and buy local.
