Ledward Kaapana — vintage Island Music, Island Hearts performance 🎸 A throwback clip of Led at full command: nimble picking, deep swing, and that easy conversation between bass lines and melody that made him a favorite on stages across Hawaiʻi and beyond. Filmed for the late-1980s KGMB TV series Island Music, Island Hearts, this segment catches Led in solo spotlight — the kind of piece he used to bring to backyard sessions and concert halls alike.

A moment that still gives chicken-skin. Ledward Kaapana, Dennis Kamakahi, and Nathan Aweau join—without rehearsal—to close the first concert with “Hawai‘i Aloha.” Led’s shimmering ki ho‘alu, Dennis’s steady presence, and Nathan’s rich vocal/bass lines fold together like they’ve shared a stage for years, inviting the whole room to sing. It’s the kind of communal ending generations in Hawai‘i know by heart, filmed here by Ken Levine in all its warm, unguarded humanity. This was the first time thes

🎸🌺Ledward Kaʻapana performing “Mauna Loa Slack Key” This sparkling live take shows Ledward at his most joyful, loose, melodic, and storytelling through every phrase. If this tune grabs you, you can also find it on his landmark album Led Live Solo from Dancing Cat, 1994, a release that captured his stage magic and introduced many listeners to the Kalapana tradition with warmth and humor. “Mauna Loa Slack Key” carries deep family lineage. Dancing Cat’s notes trace it to Ledward’s uncle, the lege

Ledward Kaʻapana — airport session 🎸✈️ No fuss, no stage lights — just Led easing into a concourse set with that calm, unhurried pulse. You can hear the conversation between bass and melody turning a busy terminal into a listening room. Over the years he has popped up in airports from Hawaiʻi to the mainland, sometimes as part of organized airport music days and sometimes between flights, letting kī hōʻalu do what it does best. If this clip hits, put on Waltz of the Wind and sink into the same

🎶 Enjoy our music video to Ledward Kaapana’s “Radio Hula” 🤙 “Radio Hula” was written in the 1920s by Lizzie Alohikea to celebrate the wonder of radio, which suddenly let Hawaiian music leap across oceans. The tune’s joyful swing and catchy vamp made it a favorite for hula dancers and a must‑know for slack key players ever since. Here you’ll hear it in the deft hands of Ledward Kaapana, National Heritage Fellow and living legend of kī hō‘alu. His signature alternating bass groove and crystal cl

Ledward Kaʻapana — “Nani” with hula by Wainani Kealoha A quiet, nahenahe moment on the Slack Key Show stage. Led lets the melody glide over a steady heartbeat bass, adding small harmonics and slides while Wainani’s hula shapes the story in her hands and eyes. Guitar and hula breathe together at an unhurried tempo, turning the room into a listening circle. About Ledward. Raised in Kalapana, he came up playing by ear at family kanikapila, co-founded Hui ʻOhana with his twin brother Nedward and cou

Ledward Kaʻapana — “Weeha Swing” at Windward Hoʻolauleʻa 🎸 Led takes a Sonny Chillingworth favorite for a spin and turns the festival lawn into a listening room. “Weeha Swing” is pure kī hōʻalu fun—built on a rock-steady alternating bass, snappy vamps, and a melody that dances. Led keeps the engine humming with that unshakable pulse, then threads in harmonics, slides, and clean runs that tip the hat to Uncle Sonny while sounding unmistakably like Led.

In this clip, Led sits in the slack‑key chair while his sister Rhoda Kekona takes the lead vocal, bringing Kalapana back into the room. His guitar keeps that steady, easy pulse; her voice lays out the story of the old days — the little road down to the bay, the simple houses, and the kind of neighborhood where you could wander in hungry and someone wou
