Hawaiian Music and Hula Gathering at the Santa Monica Pier Thursday

On the eve of Independence Day the Santa Monica Pier Twilight Dance Series Presented by Amoeba Music presents "One Hawai`i" - An Historic Gathering of Hawai`i's top musical groups, performing together for the very first time.

"One Hawai`i" features Keali`i Reichel, Hawai`i's top selling artist together with Na Leo, the most popular female group in the history of Hawaiian music. Both Keali`i Reichel and Na Leo have sold well over a million recordings and have sold out concerts around the world.

Additional performers include Grammy winning slack-key guitarist Bryan Kessler, original founder of the Hawaiian Style Band, Randy Aloya, bassist from Kalapana & guitarist Ben Vegas. "One Hawai`i" will also include Weldon Kekauoha, award-winning Hula Halaus and special guests. Reichel is known not only for his artistry as a performer, songwriter and recording artist, but also for his work as a teacher of Hawaiian culture to the rest of the world.

This is L.A.’s first chance to see the biggest stars in Hawaiian Music on one stage…for free…as an special gift from the 50th State to the Mainland!
