Music & World Cultures: Led Kaapana and Mike Kaawa
Hawaiian music legend and National Heritage Fellow Led Kaapana is unrivaled in his exceptional picking style on slack key guitar and ‘ukulele, along with his baritone to falsetto vocal range. Down home and real, he’s a delightful performer with rascal charm. Led is joined by “The Hawaiian Boy” Mike Kaawa, Hawaii’s finest 12-string guitar player and one of its most highly regarded musician, and Mike's hula dancer sister Aurora Kaawa, who has won accolades in her own right, including being crowned Miss Hawai‘i.
The Shedd’s MUSIC & WORLD CULTURES program offers a wide variety of cultural enrichment performances each year. All of these programs are entertaining for children and adults alike, while also having an educational underpinning to set the music in its cultural and historical context. We provide each participating teacher with a large, integrated curriculum packet that includes the words for the songs, vocabulary words, extra activities, reading suggestions, and more.
