A subject close to every paniolo’s heart – music – will be featured at the Paniolo Preservation Society’s next Paniolo Talk Story Night at historic Pukalani Stables – beginning at 5 p.m., this Sat., April 28, 2012.
Just as the horse and kaula ili (lariat) are essential to our Hawaiian cowboys, so is music! PPS, with support of a Richard Smart Fund grant from Hawai’i Community Foundation, invites one and all to experience a night of Paniolo Music featuring the songs of Hawai’i ranches and their ‘ohana. Hosted by cultural practitioner and educator, Ku’u'lei Keakealani, who comes from a multi-generational paniolo family, you’ll experience an authentic evening of paniolo heritage, stories and legends told through the artistry of music. Admission is free but donations to the Paniolo Heritage Center are greatly appreciated. Bring your own chairs, and coolers are welcome. Aunty Kana’i will be offering delicious plate lunches. Dress warm for the cool Waimea evening!
