Kauwila...Hawaiian Vocalist & Slack Key Entertainer!

Kauwila is one of the most well-known and approachable slack key artists in Kailua Kona. He learned to play slack-key guitar on the Wai'anae coast of O'ahu by listening to CDs and watching other slack key guitarists. He developed his current ki ho'alu style after moving to Kona in 1999. Inspired by such slack-key masters as Raymond Kane, Sonny Chillingworth, and John Keawe, his slack-key style mirrors the rhythms of old Hawai'i. When he plays slack-key and sings Hawaiian music, you hear the Spirit of the islands play and sing through him.

Kauwila possesses an astounding, powerful voice and a command of Hawaiian vocals. His soothing slack-key style flows perfectly with the melodies of Hawaiian music. He enjoys sharing the music of Hawai'i with all who listen. He shares the history and techniques of slack key guitar, and brings the spirit of aloha to everyone he meets. Kauwila has recorded four CDs. He performs regularly for weddings, parties, dinners, and other events on the Kona coast, and plays weekly in downtown Kona and Keauhou.
