I saw Hapa play last night in Somerville, MA. OMG, what a powerful experience. Their music is *beautiful*! Barry is a monster on the acoustic guitar, Nathan played exquisitely on both a 12 string acoustic and a 7 string bass, and Charles' chanting added volumes to the music.AN EVENING WITH HAPA
Like the Hawaiian islands themselves, HAPA's Pan-Polynesian music is an amalgam of inluences ranging from ancient genealogical chants to the strummed ballads of Portuguese fisherman, Spanish cowboys, and the inspired melodies and harmonies of the traditional church choirs of the early missionaries. Add to this a dose of American acoustic folk/rock, and you have what has been described as the “most exciting and beautiful contemporary Hawaiian music the world knows!”… (Maui Times). These disparate ingredients blended together musically in the Pacific emotes the unique flavor of what Hawaii and HAPA music is: “beautiful, fragile, spiritual, powerful”… (L.A. Times).
