Drawing on strong musical roots, Kale Hannahs, David Kamakahi, and Matthew Sproat have combined their eclectic musical experiences of the past 20 years to form the neo-traditional Hawaiian music group, Waipuna. These Kamehameha graduates pride themselves on respectfully pushing the limits of traditional Hawaiian music while honoring the music of their predecessors. Their combination of instrumental prowess, strong harmonies, and a passion for music has garnered them with eight Nā Hōkū Hanohano awards, including Island Music Album and Group of the Year in 2012, Single of the Year awards for 2012, 2013 & 2019, and the 2014 Extended Play (EP) album of the year. Like fresh water that bursts forth from the ground, Waipunaʻs music will refresh and rejuvenate your senses and expand your expectations of Hawaiian music.
