It’s that time of year again when we are blessed with a bounty of good music from the wonderful E Kanikapila Kakou. Each year we are treated to a season of Hawaiian musical entertainment and education. Running from January to March this year offers musical workshops, hula nights, comedy, competitions and of course so much wonderful music.
It’s all taking place at the Kauai Beach Resort Jasmine Ballroom on Monday nights, and apart from two ticketed concerts these nights are always donation based so you can pay what you can afford.
We have the line up for you so you can see all the treats that are on offer. To find out more about E Kanikapila Kakou (EKK) click here to be taken to the Garden Island Arts Council website for all the latest news and EKK write ups.
