Hapa Tickets

Hapa, formed in 1983 by Barry Flanagan and Keli'i Kaneali'i, stands as a landmark in contemporary Hawaiian music. The duo's name, meaning 'half-Hawaiian' in pidgin, reflects their mission to blend traditional Hawaiian sounds with accessible, modern influences. Their self-titled debut, Hapa (1992/1993), became the best-selling Hawaiian album of its time and swept six Na Hoku Hanohano Awards in 1994, signaling a shift in the national and international perception of Hawaiian music.

As trailblazers, Hapa was among the first Hawaiian acts to perform at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, helping to forge new audiences for island music beyond the Islands. The group's 2005 release Maui earned critical acclaim, winning Album of the Year and Contemporary Hawaiian Album of the Year at the Na Hoku Hanohano Awards, among others, cementing their legacy in the Hawaiian music canon.

Today, Hapa continues to resonate with fans through live performances, recordings, and community engagement. Their work remains a reference point for artists exploring the fusion of traditional Hawaiian melodies with contemporary arrangement and storytelling.
