Na Kai Ewalu – 20 June 2009

June 20, 2009 by admin

Music up front all the way! Another great Saturday here. Office of Hawaiian Affairs at-large trustee Rowena Akana joined us by phone right off the plane from Washington D.C. She was there to lobby for the Akaka Bill. Listen in to find out her assessment of the bill’s chances in the House and Senate this time around. Trustee Akana also shared her views of the past Hawai’i legislative session and current challenges for OHA.

For the second half of the program we welcomed Peter Medeiros, composer, educator and slack key artist. His stories recreated a loving, rich world where family members, neighbors, and friends all made music together. Special treat, Peter brought his guitar and played live for us in studio! Check out his new cd, Ko’olau..
