Waipuna

Waipuna is an exciting collaboration of three talented individuals, all from celebrated Hawaiian musical families: David Kamakahi on ‘ukulele, Kale Hannahs on bass, and Matthew Sproat on guitar, with all three contributing vocals that blend in gorgeous harmonies.  Winners of eight Na Hōkū Hanohano Awards (the Hawaiian “Grammys”), the Waipuna musicians combine powerful musicianship, beautiful harmonies, and a passion for the music of their island home, with an upbeat delivery that makes them so popular. The Trio energizes long-standing musical traditions while building new ones. At the forefront of Hawaiian contemporary music,  David, Kale, and Matthew are superb musicians with a sense of fun, mixing Hawaiian classics and original songs in a style all of their own. 

Like the freshwater mountain springs for which the group is named, Waipuna's music rejuvenates and delights.
