Why Celebrate Hapa Haole Hula?

Hapa Haole music and hula represents a unique blend of Hawaiian and Western influences. Emerging during a period of a cultural shift in Hawaiʻi, this genre played a pivotal role in preserving Hawaiian traditions while embracing external influences. Today, Hapa Haole music and hula not only commemorates a significant era in our history but also serves as a testament to the adaptability and resilience of the Hawaiian people.
