By Moses Goods in collaboration with Kealakai Center for Pacific Strings
Back for a limited run before heading out on a national tour! The multi-media production features live music, oli, and is based on the real life story of Joseph Kekuku. In 1889, Joseph, a student at Kamehameha Schools, fabricated a steel bar in the school’s machine shop, slid it across the strings of his guitar and created a new sound that would impact music across the globe.
