Waipuna

Winner of 8 Na Hōkū Awards (Hawai‘i’s “Grammys”), Waipuna combines powerful musicianship, beautiful harmonies, and a passion for the music of their island home, with an upbeat delivery that makes them so popular. This “Group of the Year” is an exciting collaboration of three talented individuals from celebrated Hawaiian musical families: David Kamakahi, a dynamo on ukulele, great bass player Kale Hannahs, and Matthew Sproat featuring guitar and falsetto talents, combined with a gorgeous blending of their three voices in song. Hawaiian heritage is thriving, and Waipuna energizes traditions while building new ones. Like the freshwater mountain springs for which they are named, Waipunaʻs music rejuvenates and delights.
