It was great to see Waipuna performing at this event. The last time I saw them they were performing at our wedding.
Halau 'O Na Pua Kukui danced the number "Kiss Me Love".
"Uncle Ed" Collier is their Kumu.
"Waipuna is an exciting collaboration of two talented individuals, Kale Hannahs and Matt Sproat. After many years on the Hawaiian music circuit, these two Kamehameha School graduates first performed together as a duo on a tour to Japan in October 2007 with Kumu Hula Noelani Chang. Kale and Matt’s eclectic musical background and similar taste in music has led to the development of a unique sound that draws comparisons to their name, Waipuna, or spring water. Just like a mountain spring, this talented duo provides a new refreshing sound that fills the senses and captures the mind.

Waipuna – spring water – conjures inviting and powerful images:
water gurgling forth as a treasured resource, a force that reaches out to the horizons with its life–giving flow, a connection to ancestors nurturing the generations to come."
