From the beginning of the Hawaiian Music Renaissance in the early 1970s through the full bloom of Hawaiian pride in the 80s and 90s, and the resurgence of worldwide interest in Hawaiian music through early years of the 21st century, one legendary artist has survived and thrived—Led Kaapana. In a career that spans nearly half a century, Led has charmed audiences at home and around the world. His mastery of guitar, ukulele, autoharp—indeed all stringed instruments—is unequaled. His rich baritone and leo ki`eki`e (falsetto) are matchless. With unparalleled skill, this humble master plays straight from his heart, endearing him to a growing legion of devoted Led Heads worldwide.
