Hawaii Theatre Manager Burton White, center, congratulated Kaumakaiwa
Kanaka'ole and
Raiatea Helm backstage after their "Hawaiian Night" concert Friday
at the Hawaii Theatre.
Kanaka'ole opened the show with a beautiful performance that was artistically
interesting as well
because he was backed only by two guitarists, Kihei Nahale-a and Kamakoa Lindsey
Asing,
rather than a conventional Hawaiian trio or quartet. Helm entertained the crowd
with songs from her
Grammy Award-nominated album, "Sweet & Lovely."
