Kekaniwai -  "The singing water" 

"The Singing Water" exemplifies the universal language of music, quenched and thirst by many who come in contact with our consuming waters of knowledge and wisdom given to us by God. 

Therefore, let all of mankind quench their thirst for the singing water of calming, streaming, everflowing sounds of "Kekaniwai."...A thirst that will keep you thirsty...

Kekaniwai is made up of musicians from both our Halau Ka Waikahe Lani Malie and Halau Kahulaliwai, and sister Halau Hiva Nui Na Pua O Ka Honua. The band first played together, jam style, and realized they enjoyed playing together so much, it was only fitting they form this wonderful band, who received their namesake from Kumu Kamalani.

Winners of the 2006 Ka La Hula I Reno musicians competition, Kekaniwai is comprised of Eddie Kamana Ane, Freddie Aynaga and Oscar Aban; the group gets together and jams to all styles of music. Hawaiian, both traditional and contemporary hits are always their favorite, but they've also been known to rock out on occasion. They can be found usually practicing for shows or just jamming at a party.

Either way, the stylings of Kekaniwai are sure to leave your heart warm, and your ears "thirsty" for more...

The band is available for bookings, contact Sandra Ane (916) 428-6116.
