About LEDWARD KAAPANA
A master of the slack key guitar, Ledward Kaapana has been one of Hawaii's most influential musicians for four decades. His mastery of stringed instruments, his exceptional picking style on slack key guitar and ‘ukulele, and his extraordinary baritone to leo ki`eki`e (falsetto) vocal range, have made him a musical legend. In 2011, he was honored with an NEA National Heritage Fellowship. Recognition by his peers earned Led four Grammy nominations in his own right and three wins on slack key compilations, as well as multiple Nā Hōkū Hanohano (Hawai‘i’s “Grammy”) awards. He learned to play and sing Hawaiian music in the old style – listening to family and friends as they played, seeking out coaching from his mother, Mama Tina Kaapana, and his uncle, Fred Punahoa both excellent musicians. He is a regular instructor at George Kahumoku’s Slack Key camps.
