Project Overview
Celebrate different cultures through music and dance this winter. On Feb. 8, Voice of Culture members will play instruments, sing and dance in the tradition of West African culture. The company will share the beauty and the cultural specificity of the traditional rhythms, movements and songs of West African people. The audience will be invited to participate. Lau Hawaiian Collective will present a joyful, interactive concert featuring traditional and contemporary Hawaiian songs and hulas on the theme of fresh water, or wai on Feb. 24. Join the members on this journey through the sweet, poignant, rollicking music of the Hawaiian Islands with singing, ukulele, hula ‘ili‘ili (hula with water-washed pebbles), guitar, and lap steel guitar, and stories from Hawai‘i’s past and present. N? Mele Wai is an invitation to celebrate humanity’s shared reverence for water and to explore the place of water in today’s world.
