World Music Institute Presents Masters of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar and Hula - Keola and Moana Beamer at Symphony Space

The "aloha spirit" comes to New York with the sweet sounds of slack key guitar (called Hawaii's soul or back porch music), and the beautiful art of hula. Keola Beamer, a member of one of Hawaii's most famous musical families, has been a leader in the Hawaiian cultural renaissance since the 1970s. An engaging veteran performer on guitar and Hawaiian nose flute, he has been influential in revitalizing traditional Hawaiian music. He is joined by his wife, Moana Beamer, who showcases many hula styles, and also plays several ancient Hawaiian percussive instruments. Special guest artists to be announced.
